Her mouth may be painful or there could be something in her throat. Offer her some food and water. If she is able to eat and drink, there likely isn't something in her throat and I would take her into a vet in the morning to get this checked out. If she won't eat or drink, get her into a vet immediately.

I would keep an eye on her for now, as she could have a respiratory infection causing her symptoms. It's good that she ate well this morning, but the lethargy could be related to a potential respiratory infection. If she is still acting lethargic and making noises like she has something stuck in her throat on Monday, I would have seen by a vet for a health check.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. An upper respiratory tract infection is a common cause of the symptoms you are describing. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. You will not be able to check for something stuck in his throat at home. His veterinarian may take x-rays of his throat or refer you to specialist to have a camera down his throat. I hope this information helps!

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic tracheal inflammation (inflammatory, allergic, infective like kennel cough). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
