First of all, I am sooo sorry to hear all the stress and drama you are having to deal with about the vets and testing. My Dexter is 10 months old, and I am worried about him. When I come home he gets really excited...and sometimes does this thing that sounds like he is having an asthma attack. It's like he can't get enough air in. My vet diagnosed it as kennel cough...but I didn't think it was that. (he only did it when he was really, really excited) anyway...just to be safe, I put him on the medicine. now when he does it, i just try to comfort him...it's so sad because he acts like he's in trouble. (he's very sensitive anyway...the slightest change in my tone of voice makes him put his ears down and ease up to my face for very aprehensive kisses) anyway...it comes and goes...like one week it will be pretty consistent and then he won't do it for months. i had even forgotten about it until he started doing it this week again.
i changed vets...for several reasons...but my new vet doesn't seem to think it's a problem...he called it an "inverted sneeze" should i get a second oppinion too? |
