dog coughing white mucus

Reasons why dogs cough and spit white mucus:

1. The dog coughed and vomited white mucus because it ate foreign objects that should not be eaten.

2. The dog has an upper respiratory tract infection due to a cold or a fever, so the white mucus coughed up may be phlegm.

3. It may be that the owner overfeeds and the dog is also greedy, so that the dog eats too fast, or it is caused by the dog eating stimulating food.

4. It may be caused by the dog drinking water or eating immediately after excessive exercise, resulting in rapid breathing when the dog's internal organs are relatively high.

5. It may be due to improper feeding by the owner, uneven hunger and fullness, corrupt food, unclean food or food that is not easy to digest and highly irritating.

6. It may be that the dog is infected with a certain disease, such as: gastroenteritis, small, parasites, canine distemper and other diseases will cause this symptom.

7. When the dog is in the car, it will cause motion sickness, which will cause the dog to vomit and cough.

What to do when the dog coughs and spits out white mucus:

1. If the dog is sick, take some digestive medicine. If it is puffed food, it is best to give it some laxatives, and pay attention to controlling the amount. Some dogs like to catch insects, snakes, mice, ants and so on. And these small animals are likely to be poisonous, causing the dog to poison and vomit. This situation is rare in captive dogs, but it is common in free-range dogs, especially active dogs and hunting dogs, which are more prone to vomiting. The vomit is gelatinous and smelly, and the coating on the tongue may be dark blue. Generally, the vomiting stops once or twice. After the vomiting stops, drink some salt water, and then feed some glucose oral solution.

2. If the dog has symptoms of dry cough and vomiting after strenuous exercise or overeating, the owner should pay attention to adjusting the dog's eating habits and work and rest rules in time, comfort the dog more, and use liquid food to feed the dog in a short time.

3. If the dog coughs and vomits due to gastroenteritis, the dog should be fasted immediately, and then taken to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and correct treatment measures should be taken after the specific cause of the dog is found out.
