It certainly is still a mystery. My vet also said behavioral but I definitely doubt that. I'm not terribly worried about it as he's really healthy.
Interesting. It seems like it could be environmental vs. behavioral. Do you get dry - cough in the morning or anything? Maybe your dog need something as simple as a humidifier in your bedroom? I know I do and it helps me, especially if I have on the AC all day. I still think with Zoey it was the peanut butter, but who knows maybe my house was "dry" since I haven't been using the humidifier and last week here in Boston was very hot and I was using the AC a lot....
