Have you taken him to the vet yet?

no not yet hes got an appointment for next wednesday so thought i'd see what people on here says aswell. x

He could still get kennel cough even though he doesn't come into contact with other dogs although it could be a number of other things including lungworm.

I'd take him to the vets if I were you; make sure you tell them he may have kennel cough when you make the appointment as they may want see you out of hours or ask you to wait with him outside

trip to the vets is your best option and sooner rather than later I'm afraid

Yes, vets. Keep us updated

trip to the vets,for your peace of mind and to get it checked out,let us know how he is .

I hope he is ok, they can be such a worry ><

thankou everyone going to phone vets today, I looked up symptoms for heart problems lungworm and kennel cough. he is eating normal and his normal self and hasn't lost any weigt.
forgot to mention that it only started since we came back from camping 3 weeks ago.

Where did you go camping ?

Maybe an idea to check this area for any viral diseases.

we went to loch lomond it was quite bad with midgies, he was also swimming in the loch.

Maybe an idea to mention this to the vet they should know of anything happening throughout the UK.

Just jot things down on a note pad to mention to them that way you wont forget anything. Thats what I do.

Have you been able to check his mouth to see if thre is a stick or something?

i will say to vet thankyou, i also checked his mouth for sticks at first as he kept stealing the firewood and chewing it up lol. x

check under his toungue my dog seems to get some of his food stuck under his toungue and down beside it and would make like a choking noise to try and get it out and sticks aswell if he has been biting sticks could be bit stuck somewhere

Let us know how it goes when you see the vet.

Sounds like kennel cough, i work in a vets and over the past 2 months we have seen a couple of cases a day. Never seen a case of lungworm in 10 yrs of working for vets so is unlikely, they generally become quite unwell with it aswell. Nothing to worry about as long as there are no other symptoms, the cough lasts about 7 days, the vet may prescribe a couple of days antibiotics.

any news

took my boy to vets got they don't think its kennel cough or anything to worry about they says it could be eating too fast and bits of food getting lodged in his throat done an xray and he was clear. so going to not give him any bones or chew sticks for a week or so and see how he gets on. thankyou for advice ooh and they took blood test get results next week. the worry this little one causes me.
