You ask your vet. He'll be glad to tell youMy dog is coughing and trying to bring up white mucus, very little starts to come up then he stops. He is 5 years old, boarder collie/x. He has been very well up until February when he started to stink, vomit yellow bile, lick everything, his bed, leg ect. I stopped the dog food and have been making him his food since. I make fish, a bit of brown rice, steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, topped with a tablespoon of fish oil every few days. What could this be. He coughs usually while lying around, not while out for a walk. He is a bit over weight and not your typical boarder collie. He could lay around for 10 hours if you let him.
A dog throwing up white things could be caused by the canine eating food that was toxic or had spoiled. It is also possible that the dog ate a foreign white substance and cannot digest the contents properly.
it might be flem like what smokers cough up
because their hungry and they get the sick feeling of being sick like throwing up sick
You need to at least call a veterinarian and ask them if they think your dog needs to be seen by them.
the dog may have colitis which is charecterized by milky white mucus encasing the bowel movement
It could be anything from too many fats in the dog's diet, to have a bit of an intestinal problem (we all get them). Even humans can have a certain amount of mucus in their stools. If your dog's stools are quite white with mucus then it's advisable to take a stool sample to your vets for analysis to be sure there is no infection.
cause he's sick
You should take him/her to the Vet immediately. Potential issues could be a respiratory infection, like bronchitis and as severe as lung worm.
stomach virus maybe ?
Could be several things: gastric ulcers, swallowed a foreign object... The vomiting blood is stomach related, hence the dog would also not want to eat. The white gums are a result of dehydration which occurs because of the desire to not drink as well as eat. ~FloKIng Minneapolis, MN
