A naturopath is someone who provides a comprehensive medical evaluation and consultation for your pet, to determine if any serious damage to the oral cavity may have occurred; such as teeth pulled, coughing Up to 15% of the population can develop dry mouth syndrome, a condition that worsens and causes pain to spread up the body. When untreated, it can cause a terrible cough that resembles cancer to attack your pet's throat. If you suspect dry mouth syndrome, you should consult a naturopath about treatment options.
Coughing is actually a response to certain toxins (e.g., sugar in a pet's diet). During normal development when your pet receives natural chemicals, the body produces saliva to carry that food and other toxins out. Once it's released through the mouth, it causes pain in the back of the throat and the pet is unable to breathe normally.
