My dog has a raspy cough and isn't around other dogs. Is it a cold?

Question

My dog has not been around other dogs so not kennel cough. This morning she ate and then almost looked like she was going to vomit after. I thought she had something stuck so put my finger down her throat ..nothing lodged. Now has a raspy cough on and off. Can this be a cold? Gave her a little warm honey to soothe her throat. Any advice you can help me with. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Female | spayed | 5 years and 5 months old | 28 lbs

It does sound like Lucy may have a cold. I would have her seen by a vet tomorrow, as she may need medications to help with her symptoms. If she's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections.
