Hi all. Worried to bits and pieces Bogi has been making this weird coughing/gagging sound since yesterday. is that a sign of lung mets????
Please try not to worry (I know it's hard not to!). It could be anything from allergies to mets, it's really hard to say without an x-ray. Did the vet x-ray his lungs at all?

Hey Jamie and Bogi!
Yeah, I'm with Jerry on this....sounds very much allergy related..or even some kind of something caught in his throat....piece of twig, grasses, anthing.
Look in his moth as much as he will let you and see if you see any swelling in tne back of his throat, redness,etc. anything idicating an irritation.
I have no idea if this is the case, but it seems if t's mets, the symptons wouldn't be an overnight onslaught of hacking and coughing
And he's feeling fine otherwise? I really think he's fine but I know you'll feel better when you get him checked out Monday. Keep usposted!
This journey can throw ua' over the edge aout every other day! But remember, we've go you tethered to the tripawd rope and won't let you go!
Surrou ding you with peace and calm,
Sally and Happy Hannah
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
We actually had this with Atlas and it was because of the chemo. Sorry, I can't get to Bogi's info to find out (having terrible UVerse problems) but did he have chemo? Atlas had this mucus stuff form on the back of his throat and it cause him to gag and cough something awful. Scared the bageebers out of me but Dr. Williams looked down his throat and explained how the chemo was effecting his membranes etc... Anyway now that we are finished with chemo he has stopped gagging and coughing. Maybe this is what's going on with Bogi?
Sending pawsitive thoughts and hugs your way.
Patricia & Mighty Atlas
Bogi has not started even on his metronomics yet so couldnt be from chemo
and as far as xrays last xray they took was day of surgery 6/29 it was clear then. should i redo?
Yes, I think it's time for new chest X-rays, so you and your vet know what's going on and the best way to deal with it. Otherwise it's just guesswork.
Sending positive thoughts and energy to you and Bogi.
