Why is my dog coughing up white foam and clear liquid?
Be watchful of dehydration during the night. A few ways to check for dehydration…. touch his gums with your fingers. They should feel wet and slimy as opposed to sticky and tacky. You can also check by pulling (gently) a chunk of his skin upward. It should go back into position immediately… if it goes back into position slowly, that is a sign of dehydration. If your dog is vomiting profusely and not holding in water and seems dehydrated, take him to a 24-hr emergency vet now. If he is staying hydrated, he can probably wait until morning. Best wishes!
My husband and I adopted a dog from the local animal shelter last week. I took him to the vet just for a check up the day after we brought him home. He had hook worms and whip worms. I’ve given him the 3 day treatment for the worms already. He’s eating and drinking normally and doesn’t seem overly tired or lethargic, but late last night he started vomiting/coughing/gagging. He starts with a deep almost chesty cough and gags then throws up a white foam/clear liquid. Every once in a while he also coughs up a thicker mucus almost and his nose runs quite a bit. He’s also breathing a little heavily, but he’s done that for as long as we’ve had him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We’re going to the vet first thing in the morning, but any advice on how I can treat his symptoms temporarily or help make him more comfortable would be great. Any insight as to what this might be would be appreciated as well so we’re not totally unprepared at the dr’s tomorrow. Thanks so much! I thought Ke
