Cough
Hello everyone,
I am new to this sub. But wanted to ask a question, i have a sharpei (7y), i don't think he is 100% sharpei tho, by seeing pictures of the breed. But on to the question, my dog has recently developed a cough, really nasty sounds, we went to the vet a few months ago because of another cough, he got medicine and all was fixed, but now the cough came back meaner. He is currently recieving medicine for his cough, and i pray it will go away soon. He had some instances of a clogged nose by a cold in the past but never a cough, let alone such a nasty one. My question is, is this normal for the breed? Because in all the time that we had him he never had a cough, we had a few colds but never a cough. Could anyone share their experiences? I am afraid that this is atypical because he always has the same things come back like his allergies and as i said, a cold, or an ear infection but this is new, i am afraid that it's not normal for him to have the same thing so shortly after each other.
For reference i am not the 'owner', my parents are, they chose the breed, but i would love to know because i forgot to ask the vet if it is a normal occurance in this dogbreed, or if it is because of enviromental reasons (which i dont think because he never had it before now) maybe i sound stupid and ignorant but i hope someone would share his/her/their experience if it is normal or not,
Thanks in advance
