Persistent Coughing

Persistent Coughing

- Gina Hartoog

Your veterinarian is not just a doctor, he is a SUPER doctor! He is an all-in-one doctor of different disciplines, not to mention the fact that his patients can’t speak! Therefore Animaltalk brings you a feature called vetiquette. The concept of vetiquette refers to the pet and owner and their behaviour in the vet’s rooms. This feature will contain feedback from a veterinarian who will comment and advise with regard to matters that will assist in making your visit to the vet go smoothly.

We all know how it feels to get the flu virus and how irritating the constant coughing can be. The same goes for our beloved pets, and there are various reasons why animals cough. Rather consult a veterinarian to ensure that your pet is fine than ignoring a persistent cough. Make a note of the type of cough, how the cough sounds and when your pet coughs to assist the vet in diagnosing accurately.
