Pet Coughing and Sneezing
Coughing and sneezing, like vomiting and diarrhea, have many potential causes. Radiographs (x-rays) of the chest may be recommended to help determine the cause. If your pet is having difficulty breathing, the tongue is purple, or they have a wet-sounding cough, take them to an emergency room immediately. Conditions such as pneumonia and heart failure need immediate critical care and a specialist.
Never self-medicate your pet.
