Why Does a Golden Retriever Keep Gagging?
A Golden Retriever that keeps gagging may have indigestion, internal parasites, or a bone or fish bone stuck in its throat. Fast and give probiotics for indigestion, deworm (e.g. albendazole) for parasites, and see a vet if a bone will not come up or breathing is troubled.
