Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Retching and coughing is usually caused by throat irritation, wound or scratch in the throat, upper airways infection, insect bite or sting, rarely by a tracheal foreign body. Most of the roach baits are not very toxic to dogs, but to confirm that we would need to know the brand name of the product Rex may have eaten. A visit at your local vets is recommended to confirm that the roach bait is not dangerous to dogs, find the cause Rex is gagging and to provide treatment as required.
