Coughing

I'm not convinced it is CT either. Did you see on that link that fungal infection is another cause? Might want to get the mucus cultured.

Oh this?
Fungal Infection
Most dogs enjoy investigating new surroundings by smelling, scratching and digging in soil. If the soil happens to be contaminated, especially with bird, poultry or bat droppings, they may develop a fungal infection by ingesting or inhaling the disturbed soil. A harsh cough with a foam discharge can be a symptom of a fungal infection.

A veterinarian will normally treat this type of fungal infection through medication on an outpatient care basis.


I guess I wrote that off quickly because she literally lives in a bubble. Im so overly protective of her. She has disc disease and is now blind and deaf. She doesn't go outside at all soley uses pee pad and if we do go outside which is rare I carry her or stroller. But im sure its still possible. I will write it down to ask about. I had taken some of the foam in a baggie to the vet I wish they had checked yesterday.
