Barking noise

Lily has developed a barking cough Should I be concerned and take her to get checked out or should I wait and see what happens. Do you know what the causes usually are?

Just remembered a cat incident last night when she practically swung round on the lead and had a job restraining her - do you think this may have caused it?

may have done,id give the vet a call if your worried

if she starts coughing up any goo then it might be kennel cough, best phone your vet to see what the practise policy is on that. Our old vet wouldn't allow suspected kennel cough in the waiting room, the one and only time ours dogs caught it we had to wait in the car and then go through the back way to avoid other dogs in case of passing it on.

I hope its not that - she is due to be spayed on Friday

Fingers crossed its just a bruised or strained throat courtesy of the cat

I certainly will!!

Can you get the sound on tape and post it here or let the vet listen.

I'm taking her to the vets later on. If there is anything that needs treating better sooner than later - I don't want her op cancelled because of it.
