Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 5 months old | 4 lbs
For about 6 months now my dog has a persistent "something stuck in her throat" hack sometimes when she drinks water. Is running or just sitting still. She is a small chiuaua breed and is up to date on all shots

Sometimes persistent coughing or hacking can be a signs of allergies but it can also indicate something like tracheal deviation or heart enlargement. Since it has been going on for so long, I recommend to have Brealynn examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps.
