I noticed yesterday evening that my pup Lola (10 weeks) made a coughing sound just at bedtime. Then she did it again when she was at the loo during the night. I thought that maybe something had irritated her. I am worried now as she has just done it again a few times while she is sleeping on me.

Can I continue to monitor this until Monday when I will take her to vet or do I need to do something now? We have had her since Wednesday. She is lively and eating/drinking well. Had her second vaccine yesterday at the vets and all went well with her health check. I'm wondering could it be a side effect from the vaccine. Also she was due her worming tab yesterday but vet advised leaving it until Monday to let her get over vaccination.

Thanks.

It's possible it could be kennel cough. Bess had it as a puppy and she was coughing and gagging .... it soon got better with medicine and you can give them children's Benylin too. If she's gagging or uncomfortable/troubled with it I would contact the vet before Monday to ask their advice as she is so young.

Hope it's better soon.

Good advice from Sue, was going to say the same thing. Hope Lola is better soon :hug:

Thank You

Thanks very much for responding. She hasn't done it again since. I will definitely contact the vet tomorrow if it happens tonight. She is a happy chappy. Plenty of playing eating pooing.

How very strange I have experienced the very same thing! Was just coming on here to post the same issue!

She only does it occasionally and I give her water when she makes the noise but it doesn't seem to bother her, I'll just keep my eye on her over the next few days!

Thank you x x
