Night cough/retch may be heart disease, foreign object, or lower respiratory infection. The plastic may not be fully out, causing throat irritation. Prior similar symptoms suggest congenital heart disease with lung fluid. Bronchitis/pneumonia also cause it; kennel cough adds runny nose/fever. Current signs lean to throat object and heart; see a vet.
