Dog Constantly Coughing
by Sheena Walker
(Scotland)
My little dog is constantly coughing. He is a Yorkshire terrier and he's 17 years old. I took him to the vet and he was given steroids and antibiotics. He has had two courses of these and is still coughing badly.
My other little Yorkie is coughing as well but not as bad and I didn't think to mention when at the vet that we lived in a small sitting room with two cockatoos. It has just occurred to me... could the powder that comes off their feathers be affecting the dogs lungs and causing constant coughing? If so, what do you recommend as treatment to ease this cough besides removing the birds or do you think its something else?
