Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sumner. She may be experiencing an upper respiratory tract infection. If this is the case, you can try running the shower on hot and letting the steam build up in the bathroom. Then place her in the bathroom (not the shower) to breathe the humid air. This can ease congestion. If this does not help, she stops eating it has eye or nose discharge, then she will need to see a veterinarian. She could also be coughing due to a collapsing trachea as this is a common condition in small breed dogs. I hope this information helps!
