[Dailydrool] Duncan is coughing, any suggestions?

[Jim and Cassandra Vance]

Duncan has had an unproductive cough for quite some time.  It began around the time he scarfed down a whole raw turnip! The vet suggested we have his teeth cleaned because sometimes this will cause a cough.  The cough did not go away dispite the cleaning and has actually worsened.  Sometimes he throws up a bit of liquid after a paricularly long coughing/retching gag.  It almost sounds like dry heaves.  

Anyone have anything like this?  Could it be the turnip "burned" his tonsils, etc?  Turnips are pretty "hot" when raw.
