I just got this German Shepard puppy! He is 13 weeks, and weighs 30 pounds! I didn’t know my Chihuahua, which weighs 15 was outside! Because my family member put him out to potty! And I let the German Shepard out!!! 😭 he started jumping on him! And now my chi has this cough like something is stuck in his throat!! I separated them has soon has he started jumping on him!! But now my chi has a cough and I’m so worried!! I keep giving him water! And rubbing his throat! Please can someone ease my mind!!! 😭😭
 
The best thing you can do is separates the 2 dogs. Keep your chi in a warm room with fresh water and food, a dog bed, blanket, or towel. Now call your vet immediately. I am very sorry about your dog.
 
First take a deep breath.

Second, little dog is coughing and able to drink so this is not an immediate life threatening emergency.

Third, yes you should probably call your vet if possible, I would also refrain from giving any more food or water until you talk to the vet in case of potential internal injuries, or any potential need for surgeries, or the risk of too much being taken in causing vomiting which would just make the whole situation worse.

fourth, know all the details to be able to tell the vet such as how long ago this happened, how much coughing is actually happening(is it non stop or off and on frequently) any other symptoms noted....be calm and precise: full answers without going off on a tangent, a good vet will continue to ask questions to get the needed information.
