| commented question | How much choking is too much choking? Has it been recent or has it always happened? Usually hacking/coughing can indicate an obstructed airways, such as from mucus, tissue growth such as a benign or malignant tumor. It would be best to take your dog in to a vet clinic and have them do an endoscopy to diagnose the problem |
| commented question | Why do dogs go potty in the house after being outside for a long time? It can be a marking behavior, they're showing that the home is THEIR space, so if another dog comes over they will smell their scent. It can also be a response to them not thinking their yard is clean enough to urinate/defecate in. |
