Question Coughing and threw up tin foil??

Dutchess managed to get a piece of tin foil out by the barbecue she started coughing the next morning she threw up and it had tiny pieces of tin foil in it. She does not act sick other than her cough on and off but she definetly has a hacking like cough when she is coughing sought of like she is trying to get something up or that she might throw up. Do you guys think a visit to the vet is in order. All I have to say is for someone with a cough like she has she is still playing and eating like there is nothing wrong with her but the cough does concern me neverless.

Yeah I agree unless you know that she got alot of tinfoil (more than she's thrown up or pooped out). I guess I would maybe call the vet just to see what they say. I'm paranoid so I'm sure after hearing the hacker's cough a few times, I would be on the phone to the vet I'm sure your baby is fine. KUP when you can

Although it sounds like she got it up, the foil could have snagged something or small pieces might still be in there. I"d call the vet just to see what they say to be on the safe side. The cough could be from trying to get it up so long too or the irritation of the foil on her throat. Hope she feels better soon!
