Busher100 740 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Greyhound bitch came back after a hard run with a dry cough and now when she is on exercise keeps doing same dry cough any clue what it could be lads? Cheers Quote Link to post
Candle 27 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I used to have a greyhound that dry coughed after a hard race. If my memory serves me right im sure the vet diagnosed bronchitis constriction Quote Link to post
callum104 27 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Similar thing has happened to mine recently...vet said that it's an infection going round over here at the moment, might be the same in the uk. He said to touch at the base of the neck where the trachea is, if a little bit of pressure it makes it cough it's tracheobronchitis. Mine had an injection and a course of antibiotics, luckily I have a good vet that doesn't charge a lot... He also said the best way to prevent it was to make sure the dogs warm before and after running. Quote Link to post
Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Have had that happen a few times this year with mine after a real hard run and he's just sorted himself out. Plenty fluids, some milk or chicken broth I've found helps. A day at the most usually and he's back as normal Quote Link to post
ginger beard 4,652 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I had the same with a deerhound.she had a diagramatic hernia.just a little cough every couple of minutes but her liver ended up in her chest cavity after running into something. Quote Link to post
Chaff 3,622 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Had the same after a long hard run found him lying in a ditch trying to cool off, left him with a cough for about 3 days. I think someone said he had dryed up his lungs ? Quote Link to post

NE_Monkey 159 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Mine sniffs up hard thru his nose like it's blocked now and again after a heavy run, usually just lasts a day or two, no clue what it is Quote Link to post
Moocher71 4,049 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Cough in a jook can mean plenty of things as we all know ,any dog coughing over any time should go vets ,yes could be nothing but it could be lungworm ! Sometimes no sighns are there until the cough comes . and regular worming don't always work . 1 Quote Link to post
Black neck 16,007 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Can just be throwt and lungs bit sore after a good stretch hopefully nowt more sinister Quote Link to post
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,482 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Most dogs will cough after a gruelling run when they not fully fit and conditioned for it, it’s just a slight strain on the lungs which usually clears up in a few days 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,105 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don't think you have heartworm over there but a cough is a symptom after exercise.I lost a whippet bitch to a grass seed in the lung,common thing with dog's here. Quote Link to post

To treat lungworm(not saying in this case though)a course of Milbemax should clear it up Quote Link to post
