black recking it 730 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 COULD BE FLUID ON THE LUNG,S IF THE DOG,S HAD A BANG OR KNOCK MATE ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer88 86 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 should have been to the vets before you wasted time asking on here hope the dog is ok To late mate only got home around 7 , I think it may be worms although there's nothing in her phecies , I have ran out of carcasses this being the dogs normal food so she's had to have biscuits for a few days till they come in atThe butchers , and eating them she's fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Take her to a running dog vet mate,it could just be that she hates going back to normal food after being on carcases but the cough and losing weight can be signs of over running,only you will know if you've over done it with her,a bad heart will cause her to cough due to the fluid build up as already said in the lungs,its easy to blow a young dog or any dog for that matter,tales of 100 a night by lads on here tend to give people the wrong idea on how much work they are capable of,good luck with her mate,WM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you are at all worried and you aren't very experienced, then go to the vet: no one can offer sound advice on the internet because we can't see the dog in the flesh. We can only learn by experience: each problem we see in our dogs teaches us something new, but its not worth putting the dog at risk to save money at the vet. This could be something or not much: kennel cough, sore throat, teeth problems? Or it could be something more serious: as in................lung infection, heart/lung worm or something stuck in dog's throat or tongue. You'd be surprised how ill a dog can be before it actually keels over! Don't take any chances if you're not sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer88 86 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Iv got some carcasses so I'm going to see how's she is when I get home and if she still is not right the to vets tomorrow , I'm praying it's just the biscuits but well see , fingers crossed thankyou for the replies guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Some cheaper complete foods can swell up in the stomach causing all sorts of problems if the dog isn't used to digesting that sort of crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer88 86 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Skycat I really appreciate your replies u seem to really know your stuff I think this could be right as her shite Is really orange and runny ( not nice to Pick up !!! ) she's been for a lead walk today and she is right as rain I think it's down tho this biscuit !!!

sandymere 8,263 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Frothy cough is very unlikely to be food related. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer88 86 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Frothy cough is very unlikely to be food related. it wasn't just a frothy caugh tho it was like she had eaten her biscuits too fast then gagged , could this be worm related ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
