One of my cows coughs, protrudes her tongue, and breathes with her mouth open. Is this an indication of health issues? Beef Cattle March 06, 2008
The cow most likely has a lung disease in which inflammation elicits an irritated cough and reduced air space which encourages open-mouth breathing. Since a number of infectious and noninfectious causes are possible, professional assistance is necessary to make a specific diagnosis by physical and laboratory examinations. Infectious Lung Disease (Pneumonia) Pneumonia is a common infectious disease that is a possibility. Fever, coughing, and labored breathing are present due to inflammation and swelling of the lungs and accumulation of mucus, blood, and pus in the air passages that interfere with airflow. In an attempt to get more air, the head and neck are outstretched, and the tongue protrudes. Pneumonia is a highly complex, contagious disease and may be caused by one of several viruses in concert with various bacteria. Bacteria generally cause serious pneumonia, either as primary or as secondary invaders. Since predisposing stress factors contribute to the appearance of the disease by lowering the animal's resistance, management directed toward adverse conditions of cattle is needed to prevent more cases of pneumonia in a cowherd. The sick cow must be isolated for treatment. It is concluded the infectious agents are harbored in the cowherd; therefore, it is advisable to know by laboratory tests the specific viruses or bacteria involved to develop an effective vaccination plan. The plan should include vaccinating the cows, nursing calves, bulls, and replacements with the proper vaccines. Fog Fever (Pulmonary Emphysema and Edema) is a common noninfectious condition that is another possibility. With fog fever, fever is not present, the coughing is minimal, the respiratory distress is extensive, and the onset of symptoms is sudden. Difficult breathing is obvious with mouth breathing, extended tongue, and drooling saliva. The lung damage is the result of a toxic reaction in the lungs following an intake of a large quantity of an amino acid in lush, green grass in spring or fall. Diagnosis is based on a history of moving the cows from a dry, brown pasture to a lush, green pasture within the last 10 days. The affected cow should be appropriately treated and handled with caution to prevent ***** by suffocation brought about by exercise. The cowherd should be moved from the lush pasture and gradually returned over three weeks by feeding hay and limiting grazing time. "

A persistent cough is usually not suggestive of a really serious problem, but sometimes it is caused by something needing immediate attention.

I'd first see a pharmacist and ask for a cough suppressant. Explain whether it is a dry cough or a phlegmmy cough, and whether you have had a fever, or any aches and pains.

Then if it does not improve in a few days more, see a doctor, who will listen to your chest.

If you are or were a smoker it may be advisable to skip the pharmacist and see a doctor soon if possible. I hope you can access good medical care, as so many can't.

Consider check for resources already in play in your area rather than inventing the wheel from scratch. A hospital social worker might know of or could find out what organizations are out there that might be of specific help. The best way to start a search is to consider just who has the need to know the information you are looking for. That might be a Health Department, a support organization, a foundation, or a hospital where such clients receive diagnosis or treatment. I often race to the Mayo Clinic site for views about any health matter. Google "Mayo Clinic Parkinson Support Groups" and see what pops up, for instance. I hope this is some help.

You may be suffering from COPD which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. You need to see your doctor who will probably do the spirometry test which is a simple breathing test that can help diagnose COPD.

A chronic cough is one that has lasted for 8 weeks or more. It's usually a symptom of something else rather than a disease in itself and so it's important to see a doctor to find the real cause which could be anything from asthma to allergies, to something more serious. Good luck.

Coughing is the body's way of keeping unwanted stuff away from your lungs. Coughing helps to keep the airways clear from extra mucus. Smokers, people with colds and lung disease etc produce extra mucus which can lead to an infection if the airways get blocked up.
