He may have a cold, it could be almost anything. My little dogs get it once in a while. They re little throats sound dry. Make sure he's got plenty of fresh water. Try putting a little oil with his dry food. He may just have a sore throat. If he hasn't improved in a day or two, I'd call the vet.

Answer 2

Depending on the breed, some animals do sound like they are suffocating, and believe it or not, there are some animals that really have allergies. I strongly suggest that you take the pup to the vet and have a thorough physical done. This will help you to identify what might or is going on with your pet. Hope this helps you out. ^_^ Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

I hope someone with animal experience can seriously answer your question and I will share it to see if someone can help you.

Your question has me laughing here as I am imagining your dog neighing when trying to bark and making odd sounds. The word you should have used is hoarse for your dog's vocal problems, a horse is an animal. I am glad I am not the only one who has a funny moment. Thanks for cheering me up.

Answer 4

Several breeds of dog inherit distressing breathing problems because of recessive genes. You do not say if your dog is a certain breed or not where this could be a cause. If it is then I would most certainly see a vet as certain breed probs. Can be helped. ///Having said that I would urge you to have him/her checked anyway as he could have something lodged in his throat etc etc.// No dog should have odd breathing sounds and with the HOARSENESS too it suggests several reasons. So please take him to the experts for a check out. ///The fact that you have noticed something wrong with his breathing etc also points to a needed check. So please take him without delay as breathing probs. Are distressing.
