Constant panting is often from heat, intense exercise, or respiratory infection. Panting with tongue out is normal cooling after heat or exercise; pneumonia or bronchitis also cause it. If uncomfortable or frequent, see a vet.
Bichon Frise Coughing After a Cold: What to Do
The Bichon Frise is a common small dog that is usually sturdy as an adult, but if a cold turns into a persistent cough it may mean a secondary infection or even a viral infection. Here are the causes and solutions for a Bichon that keeps coughing after a cold.
Possibly stressed – just bought it today; it was fine earlier but suddenly started panting fast, making urgent noises from its nose, lying still, gloomy, with constant tearing and unwilling to move. Could it be heart disease?
Constant panting and nasal breathing sounds may signal respiratory or cardio-pulmonary disease. After stress, a heart attack is possible, with breathing difficulty, panting, blood clots, and limp limbs. Chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, heartworm, viral respiratory infection, nasal polyps, throat foreign bodies, or lung compression (edema, emphysema, tumor) can also cause this. See a vet for blood, SAA, chest X-ray, echo, and airway pathogen tests for early treatment.
What does a dog’s dry cough and retching mean?
Intermittent dry cough and dry heave may be a respiratory infection, but esophagus injury or parasites are possible. Causes include cold, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia. Signs are weakness, poor appetite, dry cough, retching, sometimes fever. See a vet if uncertain.
Can I ask about a dog? A 9-year-old unspayed female Teddy that recently drinks a lot, coughs after exercise, and coughed all day today.
Cough after exercise or drinking in an old female is likely heart issues (airway compression) or pneumonia/bronchitis/pulmonary edema with phlegm. Being senior, heart/lung disease is likely; get a vet check for the cause.
My Cat Has Been Sneezing and Has a Runny Nose Lately; at Night Mucus Dries and Blocks the Nose, and Since Last Month One Eye Corner Has Had Reddish-Brown Discharge
'Cold' is a general term for upper respiratory symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, cough, congestion, red eyes or discharge). Rhinotracheitis is a type of cold from herpesvirus. Many causes: calicivirus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Bordetella, influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia. For severe upper respiratory symptoms, get a vet PCR, DR, fSAA, and blood tests to find cause, then treat.
My kitten sneezes and coughs very frequently with runny nose; the vet said a cold, but after days of shots/meds it’s worse, coughing harder (was single, now several in a row); appetite/spirit good. Is it really a cold or something else?
Cough/sneeze/runny nose mainly from upper respiratory infection—pneumonia, bronchitis, viral cold, cat flu. If vet ruled out cat flu/calicivirus/mycoplasma/chlamydia and called it a common cold, cold meds help in 3–5 days. No improvement → other respiratory disease; further check. Viral cold needs interferon/antivirals; severe → nebulization/shots. Keep warm, encourage warm water.
My dog won’t eat, has no energy, runny nose, and keeps whimpering; it doesn’t respond when called.
Not eating, runny nose, lethargy, whimpering suggest a serious disease. Without regular vaccines, high risk of distemper or infectious tracheobronchitis. See a vet promptly; viral distemper has high mortality and needs IV/antiviral. If it's a common cold, appetite/energy stay good—keep warm, give dog cold medicine and anti-inflammatory, more water.
Is my cat catching a cold?
From the photo the cat has a runny nose and tearing, suggesting an upper respiratory infection, bronchitis, or feline rhinotracheitis. Typical signs are sneezing, coughing, and rapid breathing; causes include chills, poor husbandry, or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases use amoxicillin-clavulanate plus warmth.
My cat is coughing, weak, and has flat (airplane) ears since midnight
Coughing with white foam and weakness may signal a serious respiratory infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergic asthma, or heart disease, and needs urgent care as it can worsen fast. Viral or bacterial infection and heart disease causing exercise intolerance are common causes.
