throat irritation?

[lovespandp]

Oh my goodness poor Pixie. Poor little thing.

We were out and about on Sat, ran errands with Peanut. When we were on our way home he started coughing, like he had a hair ball. He did it a couple times on our way home.. after we got home he never did it again. It was really strange.. Seeing this thread makes me think it was allergies that was making him do that.

We went to Petco, and I thought OMG he caught Kennel cough. Then I thought to myself nooo he can't catch it that fast..

My SIL's Min Pincher just went to the Vet- she said Grace has been coughing/ hacking a lot. She took her in, they vet gave her antibiotics, antihistamines and anti inflammatory. He said if it didn't clear up they will need to do Xrays. I'm starting to think she has some allergies going on too..

So I guess besides being itchy, they can cough/ hack when they are having allergies... makes sense to me I guess! LOL

Hopefully Pixie will be better soon!!

So glad she's doing better!

I am so happy that your baby is doing better! This thread was very helpful to me because Ian is doing the same thing. He started gagging/hacking, as if something is stuck in his throat, and is not acting like his usual self. He also is a grass eater. Although we are careful when we walk him, he still manages to snatch some, sometimes. His vet appointment is today at 2:30. I was/am also worried about all of the above, especially ct. We have been down that road before. :-(

I spoke to soon now she has diarrhea! I called the vet and she said do not give her any food until 11:00 pm tonite.

She was such a good girl she ran down the hall and went in the bathroom on her pad to go too.

I wonder what the heck is going on with her? It is weird the throwing up and then diarrhea. throwing up stopped and she was fine for about 8 hrs after she ate and then it started

Sending prayers bc I know how upsetting it is. I was relieved when she said it was not CT. You should try some Benadryl and see if it stops.

Worrisome anytime they hack and have diarrhea. I wonder if she ate all the grass cause her tummy was upset? And then the hacking? Maybe something else going on. Blood tests, fecal and maybe even a chest x-ray next if not better very soon. When Tibbe hacked but had no fever or even other symptoms(he might have had a mucuos-y stool - can't remember) an x-ray led to his pneumonia diagnosis. He'd aspirated some food or something reverse sneezing and it started an early, focal pneumonia but we caught it ultra early. The day he got sick, Tibbe just stood in the floor and looked at me until I vetted him 2 hours later and x-rays, blood, stoop sample taken to try to find out what was wrong with him. I hope and pray it's not anything serious but Tibbe used to RS a lot before his MVD diet stopped all that and the vet thought that was likely how he aspirated. Keep us updated and we're praying.

Poor Pixie girl. I was praying she was all better by this afternoon. Hoping it will only be one episode of diarrhea and that she will be better tomorrow.

I also meant to mention that when Max had his sore throat, he had a couple of big, violent sneezes and then he rapidly improved.

So far so good, no more diarrhea. She has been playing ball all evening so I think she is on the road to recovery. I get so stressed out when she is sick.
Thanks Krisitn for your prayers

Jeanie the vet did in house blood panel and everything was ok but I think if she is not better tom. I am going to ask her to do the one where they send it out and test for a more thorough evaluation. Thank you for your prayers.... I will keep you posted I really hope this is just a fluke and is not a symptom that links to something more serious.

WE rushed her home and gave her benadryl and she seemed to have gotten better after 30 min.
Today she still like snorts as if she has something stuck in her nose after she barks and when she eats.
Does anyone know what this could be?

She has an appointment tom. at 9:30 I am just worried sick.
Of course I have been a google queen and I saw:
kennel cough
Colapsed trachea
bronchial infection
soft palate irritation
My biggest fear is collapsed trachea
I am praying it is not that.

I also did notice her eyes were more runny today.
I also gave her a bath after the park in case it was allergies.

This *just* happened to us over the weekend w/ Pfeiffer. I kept telling Tony she had a piece of grass stuck in throat / nose area. Finally on Monday morning, a piece of grass was partially sticking out her NOSE and we were able to pull it out. But before that she was sneezing, hacking, coughing, snorting and pawing at her nose. I was so thankful it came out bc otherwise we'd have to put her under.

Hoping she is recovering and that she will be back to firm stools by tomorrow.

Poor Pfeiffer! I'm glad the piece of grass is out. *shivers* I can imagine how uncomfortable it must be to have grass up their noses. If only we could convince them to stop sniffing so vigorously and stop eating stuff!!

wow it is amazing what these little dogs can manage. I bet Pixie had it caught in her throat bc the throwing up made her stop the reverse sneezing.
So glad Pfieffer got it out of his nose on his own.
