My 8 month old pup Lily has recently started coughing during and after strenuous exercise (running, ball chasing, etc.). The cough is almost like a hack and occassionaly clear liquid (what looks like saliva to me) come up. It is not bile or the yellow foamy vomit that is usually caused by an empty stomach. No problems with eating and stools are normal. She is UTD on all shots.
The time of the exercise doesn't seem to make a difference. She doesn't do it everytime, but I would say about 1/2 of the time. We usually go for a run/walk about 6:30 in the morning before she eats, but she'll also do the coughing if I feed her first and then wait several (3-4) hours before exercising.
Any thoughts?
We have an appointment tomorrow at 3:30 EST with the vet, but I like to go in with some knowledge and ideas of what to ask before any appointments.
