My dog, Rocky has asthma attacks and then throws up. What is the matter with him?

Answer 1

My dog coughs and hacks which causes him to throw up. I noticed it more when he goes from extreme temperatures to another. Like now it is 100+ outside and 70 in the house. He does it in the winter to. Spring and fall he is usually fine.

Answer 2

R u absolutely sure its asthma? Bcuz, at certain times of the yr, my dogs sound like they're having asthma..like they're having a hard time breathing. There's a flap that seperates the breathing tube, and food tube, sometimes the flap flaps around n it makes it hard for them to breathe n so they sound like they're having asthma attacks. Mine do that during the spring time.

If it's a major problem, then u can have that flap fixed by surgery at the vets. But, it happens to dogs, its especially normal at dog farms. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though I know you feel scared n worried at times about your dog. The best thing u can do, is pet the dog n comfort it while it goes through that asthma type of thing.
