What would cause a dog to sound like it's having an asthma attack and have a runny eye he squints when opened

Question

sleep looking stuff coming out of one eye which makes eye look let like crying and won't let me get near it without getting aggressive. Been sneezing on and off all week, and sometimes makes choking sounds like asthma but those aren't constant

Answer 1

Sounds like a bad cold. He needs to see the vet- might need a round of antibiotics. If he is being aggresive and out of sorts, he could have a fever and be in pain from an ear infection. Be responsible and take him to the vet. He can't tell you what is wrong so you need to find out for him. Good luck.

Answer 2

the "choking" could be nasal drainage from allergies or kennel cough. As for the eye thing, he could have an infection, or again, eye allregies that are so uncomfortable he doesn't want you to touch it. Take the poor thing to the vet.

Answer 3

dogs can have allergies, just like humans. I own a labrador and the vet told me to give him benadryl. He is a big dog, I would consult a vet before trying this on a smaller breed.
