Dog Health
Breathing Problems:
Does your dog have a distinct wheeze?, if it does, a veterinarian visit should be scheduled.
Coughing could also indicate dog health problems such as a respiratory infection or heart disease. Occasional panting could indicate a nervous or overheated dog
Other respiratory symptoms could represent more serious possibilities for dog health problems such as heartworm.
Respiratory infections usually occur in dogs when they are around a large number of other dogs, such as when they are boarded in kennels.
Exposure to dust, mold, pollution, and smoke can also affect the dog's respiratory functions.
A persistent dry cough and fever could indicate an infection and a veterinarian should be contacted immediately.
Respiratory infection medications include cephalexin and doxycycline.
Sometimes an inhaled or swallowed object could cause breathing difficulties
See your veterinarian immediately if this is the case.
Medications to manage dog breathing problems include prednisone and theophylline ER.
