Are You Sure That's a Cough?
If your dog is coughing or wheezing, don't ignore it. Pet asthma is not something that should be taken lightly. If your dog is suffering from this affliction, it is likely that he is extremely uncomfortable, or suffering from an extreme health risk.
Bronchial and asthmatic conditions can hinder your dog's breathing and put stress on the heart. Don't put off treatment - bring him to the vet as soon as you begin to detect symptoms.
If your dog shows signs of asthma, don't be so sure of that diagnosis. Heartworms generally have many of the same symptoms as asthma. For this reason, it is imperative that you ask the vet to administer a heartworm test. Your dog is counting on you to take care of him and waiting too long could be jeopardizing his health or even his life—keep that in mind.
