The puppy makes a clicking sound, do you know why?

The dog makes a coughing sound and has yellow runny nose, which always makes the owner very worried. The owner may think that the dog is suffering from canine distemper, but in fact it is not the case. There may be many reasons for the dog's symptoms. Let's take a look below.

1. Foreign body irritation

Dogs will make a clicking sound when fish bones, chicken bones, hair, dust, flying insects and other foreign objects are stuck in their throats. If they want to spit out the foreign objects in this way, they may also be accompanied by symptoms of drooling and scratching their throats. In this case, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital in time to take a X-ray to check the size and location of the foreign object, and then remove it in time. In addition, it is recommended that owners keep things that may have an impact on their dogs' health out of their reach when feeding their dogs.

2. Respiratory system infection

Respiratory system infection in dogs causes excessive secretion of sputum and nasal fluid to block the respiratory tract, causing difficulty in breathing, and symptoms of retching accompanied by a clicking sound will occur. In addition to making a clicking sound, it is usually accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, cough, loss of mental appetite, and fever. If you suspect your dog has a respiratory infection, it is recommended to take it to a pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

3. Eating and drinking too fast

If the dog makes a clicking sound while eating, it may be that the dog is eating and drinking too fast, which has irritated the esophagus. In this case, the dog will usually recover on its own after a while. However, in order to avoid a similar situation from happening, you can prepare a slow-feeding basin for the puppy to slow down the puppy's eating speed.
