crorider 174 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Anyone experience one of these? Been vets yesterday but im going to another today for a second opinion because i dont agree with the immediate diagnosis of lungworm. Its such a minor little puff with the occasional reverse sneeze that i haven't really been worried until yesterdays diagnosis. It's probably been about 7 weeks now but most days he'll only do it once or twice and it very rarely becomes a gag. Its completely dry, doesn't sound as if there's any fluid in the lungs which doesn't fit with any of the possible causes I've read about. Hes been worked this week had some minute and a half and 2 minute runs and this hasn't caused any coughing and neither has his daily free run. Been suggested it could be something small stuck in his throat, a small split in his trachea or even just a season cough which is what i assumed it was. Any ideas edited to add, hes been treated with advocate a week ago and will be again in another week Edited September 4, 2014 by crorider Quote Link to post Share on other sites
