O.k...I know this may sound nuts but how long is the hair around Yoda's mouth? I ask this because Boog did the same thing once so we checked in his mouth but didn't see anything. He kept coughing and hacking so we checked again, with a flashlight, and found that a thin strip of hair from around his muzzle had gotten stuck between his upper lip and gums and went down the side of his throat...it was real hard to see and of course, he couldn't cough it up. We almost made a trip to the vet and after we found the problem we were glad we didn't! Needless to say, we kept his hair shorter after that. Life with Boog...it was always interesting! LOL!
