ive seen this all my life in different dogs, dog will cough like a cat does when it has a hairball or whatever , lasts several seconds and ok, dont seem to bother the dog but sure aggrevates me though.
any idea what its called and cure ?
no worms.

kennel cough--I use LA 200-- you can also use same thing you use from drug store

someorms gets up in their throat n causes them to cough too might wanna get her checked or worm her yourself

I have a 7 yr old dog that has coughed for 6+ months. I have seen the vet several times (antibiotics, etc.) and nothing has worked. It is not contageous as I have kept him with other dogs and none get it. He has negative heart xray, negative paracite tests including heart worms. After he runs he does not cough and it performs about like he always did. Anyone have any ideas?

By having the heart xray, was either Congestive Heart Failure and/or Cardiomyopathy ruled out?

Unfortunately, diagnoses that come back "negative" can sometimes be misdiagnoses ...
