I have a few different things to ask about Lilly and the things she's been doing lately. She goes back to the vet the 26th but I'm sort of trying to find a different vet right now because I feel as if when I ask them questions or anything it's kind of a hurried answer and we're kinda hurried in there then out. Pretty aggravating especially since this is my first puppy so I have lots of questions.
She's had the Bordetella vaccine but I've noticed her hacking a lot like coughing and hacking both, kinda like somethings stuck in her throat or I don't know really how to explain it but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if the snorting will have anything to do with that either but like if she jumps up or if she goes up to get a treat out of my hand or something it's kind of like when she's in that position she snorts or she's having trouble breathing out of her nose. She also does it a lot when she's playing with her toys, that part sounds kinda like she's blowing snot out of her nose which sounds kinda common but I'm not sure, the snorting part is what really bothers me.
She also has allergies which I guess several dogs do but she'll itch and itch behind her ear (she used to have dry skin back behind it really bad) is there something I can do to help this? I told the groomer when I went and it seems like the looks of it cleared up but she's still itching at it.
Last but not least, there's a spot on her stomach that's been on there for quite a while now and I meant to ask at our last vet visit but as I said he kinda rushes me so it sort of slipped my mind. I'd be extra urgent about it and call and ask but it doesn't seem to bother her or anything so I was just waiting when I took her next Friday. I have pictures of it though if anyone's maybe seen it or dealt with it before. I asked the groomer and she said she'd think it was ringworm if it was pink and was rose from the skin but it's not, it's just black and sort of scabbed over.
Sorry this is so long
but I'd appreciate some other opinions on this stuff.
