My dog is walking around dry heaving, it lasts a few seconds and hes fine. What is it?

Question

He is a 97 lb rott and i dont know if he has something stuck in his throat. I tried looking down his throat but didn't see anything. He only does it every 10 or 15 min and it lasts bout 5 seconds. What should i do? I tried giving him water and milk to drink but it didn't help.

Answer 1

Is his stomach distended at all? Retching is a sign of bloat.If his stomach seems hard or bloated,get him to an emergency vet ASAP!!

Answer 2

The only way to find out  for sure if he has something in his throat is to take him to the vet's.  Was he chewing on anything that could have irritated his throat?  Better get him to the vet's quickly, as this could be a very big problem if there is something stuck in his throat.  Good luck.

Answer 3

give him rubatuncent i think thats how u spell it thats what the vet told me to give my boxer if he had things of the sort but call him or her to make sure
