Coughing after shot

I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about or not. I've noticed that after I give Toby his insulin, he sometimes coughs as if he's trying to get up a hairball. It's usually only a few seconds followed by some swallowing. He hasn't thrown up in weeks and sometimes he eats right after one of these episodes. I also have been giving him a small piece of freeze-dried salmon after tests & shots. Perhaps he's allergic? The only other thing I can think of is asthma, but I don't remember him doing this that frequently before. I've seen him do it if he drinks his water too fast.

I have a video that I'll be showing my vet at our visit tomorrow, but it won't let me upload it here.

Does he have any known issues to pork? Have you always used those treats? It's also possible the freeze dried treat might get a little stuck.
 
I narrowed it down to the treats. He may have a slight allergy to salmon or they were just too dry for him. I've switched to freeze-dried chicken breast treats and the coughing has stopped.
