 Teething and congestion
Just found this out and as someone who doesn't have kids I wouldn't have known.
Tufty is now 18 weeks and this week became quite nasally and sounds congested, he had some snot.
Talked to my vet and he advised at his age he is teething and just like human children it can manifest itself in nasal congestion, nothing is required it will pass.
He is a healthy pup with a healthy appetite and fabulous poopability and very playful. Does get a little exhausted and sleeping and just wants a hug. Teegy never had this issue so I was unfamiliar, but my sister was telling me it happened with her kids and you just have to let it run it's course.
I know there are a lot of newbies on here and hoped that this advice and information would be best shared so we don't all go crazy with worry. I guess when you've been a vet for 50 years you've likely seen it all or very close to it.
He said if anything should change in his status to get back in touch.
So far it's sleep snort, snuffle, chewing on anything nearby like a madman, thank christ for good chew toys (which he and Teegy are now wrestling over) |
