Dog coughing and gagging, this morning he vomit a little blood

Hello. I am sorry that Grotti isn't feeling well. When dogs are coughing or gagging it could be a few different things. The most concerning is something stuck in the esophagus. This is life-threatening if not removed right away. Also, vomiting blood can be due to ulcers, rat bait ingestion, severe gastritis, or other injuries. I would recommend that you have Grotti seen by a vet, and they will very likely want to do x-rays. Best of luck with Grotti.

Cough can be caused by an infection, heart problem or lung condition, it is important to first know the cause before treating it as treatment is different from condition to another.
The most common disease causing cough is a viral infection called Kennel cough, this disease usually resolves without treatment within a couple weeks but if the cough is too severe with blood it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.
