Dog coughing up blood and tissue

Hello there,



I understand how concerning it must be to see your dog coughing up blood and tissue. This can be alarming, but let's go through what might be happening here.



The presence of blood and tissue can indicate several potential issues. It could be due to something simple, like a minor throat irritation or injury from chewing on something sharp. However, it could also be more serious, such as a respiratory infection, foreign object lodged in the airway, or in more severe cases, a condition such as lung disease, heart problems, or a bleeding disorder.



In the meantime, ensure your dog is in a calm and comfortable environment to prevent any further stress. Provide plenty of fresh water and soft food if your dog is willing to eat. Avoid vigorous play until you know what's causing the issue.



Keep a close eye on other symptoms like difficulty breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite, or any signs of worsening bleeding. These could indicate a serious problem needing immediate veterinary attention.



I strongly encourage you to book a video consultation with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can provide a more detailed assessment and guide you on the next steps, ensuring your furry friend's health and happiness.
