It could possibly be just an irritation that has gotten into his throat or something, but honestly, if he is coughing up stuff, I would be concerned about an upper respiratory infection. I would see a vet in case antibiotics is needed. The "coughing" and "sneezing" can be normal in a chi sometimes, but when the cough is producing something, this isn't normal. I would see a vet.

Do not tell God how big your storm is.

He is still eating everything in sight, major good disposition and no problem with urinating or pooping. All is the same except for clearing his throat of phlem. Sometimes he does the chihuahua back sneeze but other than that nothing else. Anyone had experience with this. Also, it is getting better day by day. Leslie in So Cal
