Wheezing-Hacking Lab?

Since Friday my 2.5 year old female lab has been wheezing and hacking. It sounds like she is going to hack up a fur ball but nothing comes up. I thought it was in response to her pulling on her leash so hard but this morning she woke me up at 5 am hacking and wheezing. It almost seemed that when she got excited she would start to gasp and hack and when I would pet her she would calm dosn and breath normally. Does any one have any ideas about this? I am going to be calling the Vet this morning once they open but I thought I would look for any ideas here.

Maggie is in great shape and in fact we spent yesterday morning at the game farm for her last tune up and she was amazing.

Funny my lab did the same thing Saturday night. we were at the cabin and the heat got a little out of control around 3am.

I was thinking that it just got too dry. I let him outside and nothing brought him back in and gave him some water and that was that nothing else.

He has his kennel cough vaccine so I assumed that couldn't be it.

plus he hasn't been around but 1 other dog for the last month.

Could the temp and dryness of the air have caused this?

I am thinking it is not kennel cough due to the fact she is current on all her vaccinations, although the weekend of the 9th and 10th she was at a kennel for a couple of days.

After my trip to the vet yesterday I found out that Maggie probably has a mild case of Kennel Cough. The Vet said to watch her and keep her away from other dogs for two weeks. If her condition gets worse or does not clear up in two weeks she would prescribe antibotics. The vet also said that as long as activity (including hunting) does not make the condition worse to continue to train her and hunt her.

The Vet also mentioned that there are multiple causes of Kennel Cough and that when the dog is vaccinated for Kennel Cough that they are vaccinated for only the most probable cause. The Vet said in most cases that it is the common cold for dogs.

Thanks again for the information.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
