my dog keeps coughing and throwing up foamy mucus

[jesspace]

I just want to know if any of you had similar problems with your dogs. Shes a 2 year old husky and coughs non stop 24/7 gets worse at night. She some times throws up a foamy mucus, some times its yellow and other times she has thick green snots in it, she has a phlemy kind of cough other times dry. She recently started throwing up her food, we tried changing it thinking its food allergies, she ate it fine but threw it up the morning after. She also has on and off diahrrea, really bad to the point its watery and also she pooped out bloody jello. We keep going to the vet trying tests after tests and prescribed medication and they cant find anything nor does anything help. Its not kennel cough cause she took pills for that. We still havent tried chest xrays or checking for heart disease but its too expenisve and dont really have the money for it right now.. so I just want to know if any of your pets had something like this and you found out what it was? Thanks the help!

Sorry, meant to add, obviously the vomiting and diarrhea are probably secondary symptoms, which means she is picking this infection up from something in the immediate environment. That means something in your home, your garden/backyard area, other dogs or other people that she comes into contact with, or her food or treats fed regularly. If you have changed food, try looking at other things she eats (treats) as a first priority. Tony

Hi. If this has been going on for more than 2 or 3 days (maximum) then it is likely a gastrointestinal infection, which will need antibiotics. She needs the attention of a vet to examine, diagnose accurately and prescribe medicine. You should not leave this, so borrow money if you have to, or sell something to raise the funds, or seek the help of a local canine welfare association - or ask your vet if you can pay in installments - whatever it takes, please get your dog to the vet.

How long has this been going on?

Could she have kennel cough?
