Coughing and gagging, especially when asleep, is a concerning sign. It may be that something is stuck in Hailey's throat. Other possible causes can include respiratory or lung issues, asthma, illness, heart problems, parasites and more. Having your vet examine Hailey is best to determine the underlying cause and get help.
