Kennel Cough
I suspect my dog has kennel cough - I don't know how she could have got it since she hasn't been boarded and isn't due for the vaccine for a while - however, last night around 8:00pm she started doing a hacking/honking sound and has a little white foamy substance coming up (not a lot but enough to wipe it up)... which from what I've read online are the symptoms for kennel cough.
She's eating fine and acting as her normal self. My question is would it be a bad idea to wait until first thing tomorrow morning (my day off) to take her into the vet, or is it important that she sees a vet asap?
Re: Kennel Cough
Could she have eaten something that scratched her throat? Quincy got part of a stick stuck in his throat once and we had to reach in and pull it out. He had a kennel-cough sounding cough and the foamy white stuff for a day or so. Both symptoms subsided once, I'm presuming, the irritation subsided.
But to answer your question, no, it's not an emergency. Some people don't even treat kennel cough unless it goes on for an extended time, like a week or more, because it can go away on its own. So you should be fine to wait until tomorrow.

I used to be kris216.
Has she been to the dog park? It can spread there too.
My other thought might be allergies? Our dogs allergy cough is almost identical to the cough he had with kennel cough. With him we took him immediately because he could not stop coughing for about 45 minutes. It was really sad, we had to carry him in through the back door of the vet bc it's highly contagious.
