Thank you for submitting your question regarding Teddy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. He may have an upper respiratory tract infection. It is generally characterized by a hacking cough and affected dogs will frequently bring up a white foamy material. In the meantime, keep him close to home as he may be contagious to other dogs. I hope this information helps!
