Tuesday, February 22, 2005. Anders is a fairly common scandinavian name which means man or manly. In German, it is an adverb meaning otherwise or differently. Its usually a first name, but I have met people with Anders as a last name. I pronounce Anders as On-ders but as a last name, it is usually Ann-ders.
What is a barking cough? A barking cough is a dry, harsh cough that resembles the sound of a barking seal. This type of cough is most often associated with croup (laryngotracheitis). Croup is usually caused by viruses. Bacterial infection may occur secondarily.
Dogs can have stridor, or croupy breathing, which has a raspy, high-pitched sound. Dogs can make this noise when they exercise. If the onset of this sound is sudden, however, this could be a sign that something is lodged in the dog's voice box. If a dog is wheezing, the trachea or bronchi could be having spasms or narrowing.
