The throat contains passageways to the lungs and stomach.

Your dog's throat anatomy is quite similar to yours. You're familiar with the anatomical terms trachea, larynx, epiglottis and esophagus -- your dog shares them and they function in much the same way as yours do. Your dog's throat anatomy begins with the pharynx, the passage lined with membranes between the nose and throat.
The trachea, or windpipe, is a tube consisting of flexible, C-shaped cartilage rings. A dorsal ligament connects with the cartilage rings, forming a tube. Air passes through the tube en route to the left and right bronchi, then on to the bronchioles, which are smaller airways in the lungs. Over time, these rings can weaken and flatten, leading to tracheal collapse. Occurring most often in small breeds, a honking cough, breathing problems and exercise intolerance are signs of tracheal collapse.
Your dog's voice box, or larynx, sits atop the trachea. It's the source of all his barking, growling, whining and other vocalizations. It serves along with the epiglottis as tracheal protection. The larynx consists of cartilage, muscles and ligaments. It's kept in place by the hyoid apparatus, which also supports the tongue and pharynx. Your dog's larynx is bordered on the sides and front by the thyroid gland, shaped like a shield. As in humans, inflammation of the larynx is known as laryngitis.
Your dog's epiglottis, on top of his larynx, acts as a gatekeeper. It prevents food from entering the larynx and the windpipe when the dog swallows. Shaped like a leaf, the epiglottis moves over the entrance to the larynx once swallowing commences.
The canine esophagus sits alongside the trachea, beginning as part of the pharynx. It's a tube that conveys foods from its initial point to the stomach, with virtually no absorption of eaten material. Sphincters on either end of the esophagus aid in getting food to its destination without harm to other parts of the throat anatomy. The top sphincter muscle keeps food heading into the esophagus and not the larynx, while the bottom sphincter muscle is the entrance to the stomach. Both muscles are closed whenever the dog isn't swallowing, to keep air from entering the digestive tract.

“My dog acts like something is stuck in his throat.” Don’t worry, a lot of pet owners worry about this too. Is it from the food that you fed him? Or, could it just be hairball ? You might also be thinking that he ate something he shouldn’t have and that foreign object is stuck in his throat. What should you do next?
It’s possible that your dog could be choking from something that he ate. You will know because he will be showing signs like excessive drooling, pawing at the mouth, making choking sounds, and he may have his face on the ground.
As you know, choking is very serious. If the object is blocking his airways, he could get blue and may collapse at any minute. Bring him to the animal hospital or clinic nearest you as soon as you can.
With large to medium dogs, yes, you can try the Heimlich Maneuver. However, with smaller ones, it might be more beneficial to go straight to the vet as you may not be able to control your strength.
The way to do it is to make a fist with your hand and place it just behind the rib cage. With the right amount of force, push firmly up and forward. You may go to the doctor afterward just to get him checked out.
In most cases, if you know that your pooch is already choking, you might feel too frazzled to try out the Heimlich maneuver. As early as now, it is advised that you should have your vet teach you how to do this move properly.
If he is not choking, he might be clearing his throat because of an underlying disease. It’s possible that he as a viral respiratory infection like canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus or kennel cough. Watch out for other signs like a loss of appetite, intolerance for exercise (weakness), increased breathing rate and coughing. You should go to the vet as soon as possible in this case.
There are cases where a dog might act like he wants to cough out something because he feels that something is stuck in his throat when really it is tonsilitis or a sore throat. Other respiratory conditions like pneumonia (especially in older dogs) can also make your dog experience hacking cough.
Lastly, have you ever heard of a reverse sneeze? It’s common in dogs of smaller breeds. This condition produces a cough-like sound that might seem like your dog is trying to clear his throat. Don’t worry, though, because it is not a cause for concern. All that happens is that your dog inhales forcefully through the nose and mouth, with his head pulled back.
You should, first, observe how many times or how long your dog has been acting like something is stuck in his throat. If it was just one time, then your dog could have already gotten the object out.
On the other hand, if the coughing has lasted for more than a day, then it’s probably something else. In cases of respiratory infection, you should bring him to the vet so he can get diagnosed and treated with the right antibiotics. It is your call when to go to the vet, exactly, but just make sure that you know what distressing signs to watch out for.
No opening at vet for a week. Just “rescued” with a clean bill of health. But coughs and gags. I fear heart failure but suspect kennel cough or heart failure. Is there anything I could give to sooth his throats like a person can do warm tea with lemon and honey?
Just adopted from a rescue. I don’t know any history on this dog. Anything I give to sooth his throat?
Raw Honey is a great natural treatment that helps soothe the throat. Raw Honey also has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties. A 30 to 50 lbs dog can be given about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of honey three to four times a day
