Hi!
So my husband brings home a 12 week old lab/hound mix puppy yesterday. I have never owned a dog, so I am kind of at a lost as to what may be wrong with it. We were in the kitchen and my puppy started to do this breathless coughing. I actually thought it was going to throw up. Then, I thought maybe he was choking. So I got on the floor and held him in my lap. I called to my husband and said, "I think he needs to go to the vet. When my husband came out, the puppy stopped coughing. Then he went to his bowl, ate some food for a minute, then went in the corner and peed on my floor.
He did not even try to hide it or anything. Is this normal for a puppy?
Was my puppy choking, just had hiccups or was he trying to vomit? And in all honesty, I have never heard him bark either. Do you think he is unable to? Do you think my puppy was barking (without sound).
Please... I could use any advice you have about puppies and raising them. Thanks!
