My dog keeps trying to puke (but can't)?

Question

For the past 2 days, my yellow lab keeps gagging and acting like he's going to puke or cough something up, but doesn't. He's eating and drinking fine, his spirit is up, but he keeps gagging. We even went out iinto the field so he could eat some grass. Still nothing.

We think it might be related to alergies. In the spring and fall, he gets extremely itchy, and will even scratch himself into sores. Now he's doing this gagging thing. We keep hoping that he'll just puke something up, and be done with it. But, he just doesn't puke up anything. It almost sounds like he's got something stuck in his throat.

Any insite would be great.

Answer 1

my dog does that sometimes but what i do to make him feel better is to rum him throat and rum his belly, but in your occasion i would take him to a vet and see what;s wrong. Good Luck!
