Frank asked:
My cocker spaniel had some serious diahrea for several days. Luckily, we followed our vet’s advice and she no longer has this problem. But during those days, she would lick herself constantly. Now, the diahrea is gone, but she has been coughing ever since she spent so much time licking herself. Does she have fur caught in her throat? Personality wise, she’s her usual self – the only difference is the cough. Should I be concerned? Thanks!
Wow, so many replies already! She didn’t spend any time at the vet’s – they told us to feed her a diet of chicken and rice for a few days to see if that solved the problem, and it worked wonders. I’m almost certain the cough is due to hair she may have licked off herself, but to be safe I will keep a close eye on her for the next few days.
Thanks for the replies. I’ve got a billion and one dog related questions to ask in the future, and this seems like a very knowledeable place to ask them!
