whiskedaway Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yesterday, my puppy destroyed my partner's shoes. His fault, he shouldn't have left them outside, no sympathy from me. Anyway, ever since, Akira has been making a strange noise as though she's clearing her throat. It seems worse when she's been running around or straight after eating. Does anyone have some suggestions on how to help her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Sounds like she may have done a little damage to the throat or still has some of the shoe bits caught there somewhere. I'd be inclined to take her to the Vet to have it checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I agree- a vet should be consulted- just in case there is damage . Your dog may also have contracted kennel cough .. either way the vet will be able to let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskedaway Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks guys. I'm keeping an eye on her - wasn't able to get in to the vet yesterday and I don't want to take her on the weekend unless it's an emergency, so we'll be going on Monday. She's not sick at all, and the "cough" doesn't sound like kennel cough (she has been vaccinated against it as well) so I'd say it definitely relates to the shoe she ate.

OSoSwift Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Hope she is okay, but I am thinking vet visit as well. ETA - they can still get kennel cough even if they are vaccinated. The idea is it will not be as severe, but it is like the Flu vacc, it doesn't cover every strain. Edited October 9, 2010 by Rommi n Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskedaway Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Oh yeah, I know they can. My main point was that it doesn't sound like kennel cough. She has actually started itching a bit this morning and sneezing. When she sneezes, she does the throat clearing thing too. I have really bad hayfever at the moment (have to take an antihistamine every morning just to get me through the day) so I'm wondering if she's being affected by it too. I'll take her to the vet tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't done it again since early this morning, and she's been on lead and hasn't done it either. So maybe she was reverse sneezing and I didn't realise (I've only ever seen a pug do it before, so I'm sure from a Husky it'd sound really different). ETA: I've just heard her do it again and have watched a video on YouTube to compare. She is definitely reverse sneezing. Thank goodness for that.

pip1981 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hey WA- after you mentioned watching a youtube video of it, I copied, as Tika has been doing something strange in the early hours of the morning too, and, sure enough, she's reversing sneezing as well! Very weird phenomenon, I'm still not sure if I should worry or not, but we're due for a vet visit soon anyway, so I'll ask about it then....

wuffles Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Not sure if you saw the thread but my little girl was reverse sneezing a lot for about a week. Thankfully the issue resolved itself, but the vet thinks she had something like a blade of grass stuck up her nose. If it continued, we were going to get her put under so they could go get it out, so that it didn't get infected or cause any more issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskedaway Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 No I didn't see your thread. Good that it resolved itself. Akira did it once this morning, but she didn't do it all day yesterday so I think the irritation is going away. Still keeping an eye on her, but it seems a lot better.
