Dogs cough for a variety of reasons, some of which can be serious in themselves and others that are signs of an underlying problem. Internal parasites, heartworm disease, distemper, fungus diseases, tuberculosis, allergies, and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can cause Fido to cough.
A weak, gagging, high-pitched cough that is followed by licking and swallowing typically is caused by a sore throat and perhaps tonsillitis. A dog that has long bouts of coughing, usually at night while lying down, may be suffering from heart disease â particularly congestive heart failure. In toy dogs, a chronic dry, harsh, âgoose-honkingâ cough often is caused by a collapsing trachea. Dogs with a soft cough and a high fever may have contracted canine influenza, which is a fairly recently recognized disease of domestic dogs.
