yes i would agree, Tigger had been making weird sounds about once a day for the past week or so, and I was worried so I took him to the vet today, and he said that he was healthy and his trachea was solid and that what it could be is his soft palat growing and something that starts with an E is causing it to make this sound. Basically it's just an inward sneeze and all you need to do to stop it is close his mouth if it is open at the time and if that doesn't help blow a short breeze into his nose. He said it should stop at six months of age, but if I hear it getting worse or after six months it continues on, to bring him in. The doctor explained everything to me in detail and was really nice. I guess it's a common occurence with growing puppies. It sounded like a rough inhale, and sort sometimes sort of raspy, and drawn out. but his lungs are clear, trachea is solid, eyes and ears clear, anal glands empty, and overall looking good. so we'll see what happens. I hope this lady gets some common sense and takes her poor baby to the vet asap. |
