What should I do if an Australian Shepherd dog coughs? You can take these methods: First, you should observe your Australian Shepherd’s cough to see if there are other symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, wheezing or fatigue. If your Australian Shepherd has other symptoms of coughing, it is recommended that you take it to the veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian can check it and determine if it is sick. If there are no other symptoms, it is recommended that you give it some medications for bronchitis to help relieve its cough. You can also use a humid and hot air humidifier to improve its breathing to relieve its cough.
1. Cause of coughing:
I saw many pet friends saying that their Australian shepherd sometimes always pants, including my Australian shepherd, who also had such problems, and I was particularly excited and would be particularly excited. The cause of this nerve-wracking problem was caused by a collapse in the trachea.
Tracheal collapse is usually considered a congenital disease, and in fact, tracheal trauma or severe tracheitis can cause tracheal collapse. Most tracheal collapses can cause different levels of exhalation disorders, and there are also individuals with severe difficulties in exhalation and inhalation. This symptoms are more common in small dogs or mini-type individuals in this type of dog.
And among Australian shepherds, it is a common symptom, especially the most common Australian shepherds with popular apple-headed shapes. Generally speaking, individuals with a high forehead and short muzzle! The lateral angle is 90° or below 90° is most likely to experience this symptom, and this symptom also occurs in obese individuals. This symptom is not easy to detect during puppies, and it gradually occurs after obesity with age or body shape. When the seasons change, when the temperature and humidity are too large, breathing sounds similar to "geese" can be confirmed to be an individual with this disease.
If the frequency occurs not high and the duration is not frequent, don't be too nervous, just take care of yourself. Don't let your Australian Shepherd often suffer from respiratory diseases, damage the trachea, and be careful to maintain your weight so that it will not be overly obese. Induce this condition, you don't need to worry too much!
If the condition is serious, you should be sent to the hospital immediately to avoid difficulty breathing and causing suffocation. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of life!
