Hi

Could you please take a video and upload it elsewhere (like Youtube) on a public setting and copy across. We do not have a video uploading facility.

'Strange' does unfortunately cover too wide an area to help you just based on your far too scant information.
Please keep in mind that yes, we can give you an answer like Alexa or Siiri but that this answer is only ever as good as your question. Also keep in mind that we are already at a disadvantage by not having direct access.

Can you please also answer these questions:
- How long as she been coughing?
- Did the cough start during or shortly after eating a meal?
- Is it a bellowing regular cough or more like trying to dislodge something in the mouth having gone down the wrong way?

If in any doubt, please contact an out-of-hours vet (google this for your area or from your regular vet's answering machine) and contact them.
