Pickledog was up half the night with a weird cough. It comes and goes- five minutes walking around retching, then settled for a couple of hours, then repeat. It started suddenly- like he'd inhaled a feather.
If it continues I'll take him to the vet, but trying a bit of home care first....
He's producing a little white foam with each cough.
He's been fine in himself- fit healthy 8 yr old dog- he's clearly tired today, as am I, after the shenanigans!
His breathing is fine between coughing jags.
So far I've tried a spoon of thick yogurt to soothe his throat- seemed to help but it's early days.
What else should I try? Children's cough syrup? Honey? Piriton?
(I know which cough syrup for kennel cough, and which piriton).
