I just saw this... GOSh what A night
It does seem like their wassomething causing A blockage in his throat. Almost like he was choking ? Luckily, it was not A complete blockage and he could get in enough air . Feathers, or anything could have done this to him.
I have very long hair, and well, suzi has actually Pooed out , hair before
Either getting a hold of A hair brush or what ever , I fear that this could happen to her.
Maybe because he was asleep and relaxed that something triggered an eposoide .one other possibility, is I know people can Have Sleep Apnea , or breath hard when they sleep , but if dogs can have it too, then maybe that was it? Or if it was really warm in your home, it may have triggered an attack?
If it was allergy related then it is possible that the throat could have swelled making it hard to breath. Then getting him out of the house could have helped him breathe easier again, meaning that it may have been triggered by A bug, or anything in the air? Sometimes, the extra moment helps open the airway too. That could have helped him breath easier .
Or if he did have a little cold maybe congestion got caught up in his throat blocking air.
I am just brainstorming possibilites? I am very glad he is ok ! i'd be coming unglued if that were my Suzi .... My gosh that is scary .
