What causes a dog to cough and retch?
There are many reasons a dog may cough and retch, including respiratory infection, pneumonia, viral infection, and foreign-object blockage. If the coughing and retching are caused by a foreign-object blockage, the symptoms usually subside on their own once the object is cleared. In addition, when a dog is infected with bacteria or a virus, coughing and retching are also common. Because different causes require different treatments, take the dog to a vet promptly when you notice coughing and retching, and treat based on the examination results.
My cat sneezes frequently with no other symptoms, and the nasal discharge is clear
Frequent sneezing and clear nasal discharge in cats may be caused by external irritation, a respiratory infection, or a viral infection. If there are strong odors in the cat's environment, they can trigger constant sneezing; in that case, move the cat away from the area or remove the allergenic smells to stop the ongoing irritation. In addition, a respiratory infection, feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu), or calicivirus can also cause these symptoms. If external irritation is ruled out, take the cat to a vet for examination and treatment promptly.
Why is a cat panting?
