To help your dog breathe easier you can run a NON-medicated humidifier in the room your dog is in, or sit in a steamed up bathroom with your dog to help keep the mucous moving. Robitussin DM at a 1/4 teaspoon per 5 pounds can be used to control the cough.

Dog Veterinarian: Denise Nelson. You could try giving her one slice of bread with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil spread on it as that will generally help anything that is stuck in the throat down into the stomach. If she continues to hack, then it is likely an upper respiratory infection.
Kennel cough is normally contracted when a dog has been boarded or kenneled or around a large number of dogs such as at a dog show, dog park or pet store. The kennel cough vaccination helps protect against the most common causes of kennel cough but not all of them. So it is still possible for a vaccinated dog to contract kennel cough.
It will be difficult for me to determine the exact underlying cause without a hands on examination. But, common causes are: 1- A collapsing trachea: This is when the rings in the trachea (tube connecting lungs to mouth to breath) become weak and collapse. The dog will hack to re-open the trachea lumen.
The pushing the air out is likely a result of the hacking (feeling like something his in his throat and expelling air as a result of it). Rubbing his throat may also trigger this. More likely than not it is an infection, but your vet will do an exam to make sure that a tracheal issue is not also present.

The dog may sneeze a little but the cough is the main symptom, these dogs are usually otherwise quite bright and alert. 3. The dog will retch for a few minutes and in the end it will be productive, he will bring up some white sputum, some owners take this for vomit. Once he has done this she will settle down for a bit.
Dog Veterinarian: Dr Adrien. We can see a few things cause this issue - small breed dogs can have collapsing tracheas, which can lead to these symptoms. Kennel cough (even in vaccinated dogs) can also cause these symptoms. Allergies, dust, smoke, and other irritants can cause coughing.
