Why is my 6-month puppy congested, coughing, vomiting, and not eating?

Question

Hi. My 6 month old English Bulldog puppy has had cold like symptoms for a week - you can hear congestion when he breaths and occassionally he "coughs" which could also be a retch, its hard to tell. He just started vomiting too, 3 times so far and he is obviously feeling nauseous as he won't eat. I don't know if all the symptoms are connected - last night we fed him broccolli and cauliflower for the first time, that was about 18 hours ago. Please help. Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 40 lbs

Poor Ron! The congestion and the vomiting could be related or it could be two separate problems. It sounds like he likely has a respiratory infection. I would see your vet for an exam and possible antibiotics. Your vet will be able to do X-rays if needed to ensure he hasn't developed pneumonia as well. The vomiting could be from swallowing a lot of mucus or it could be something's separate like a bscterial infection, viral infection, eating something he shouldn't, etc. Your vet will be able to help determine this as well eith the exam. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon.
