Why is my dog hacking and wheezing for days without vomiting?

Question

Snoopy is hacking for 4 days. No vomit just hacking like trying to vomit and some weezing. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 4.9 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

It sounds like Snoopy is suffering from an upper respiratory infection. Since he is obviously having a severe cough, it would be prudent to take him to your veterinarian for an exam. This could be a simple kennel cough, canine influenza, or even a heart problem (congestive heart failure can cause pulmonary edema which in turn can cause wheezing and coughing). Please make an appointment with your vet before the weekend.
