Is that your Joey and do you mind my asking what the vet thinks is causing it? I'm always wanting to learn more and what to be on the lookout for with Tibbe. Does he breathe really hard or can't seem to catch his breath or struggle to get breath?
Sorry to hijack your thread about Yazmin, Carla, but I just wanted to ask about Nancy's baby. I hate to hear this news about him. And I'm so glad that your plan to help little Yazmin is going forth and is working for you. She's such a little doll and it hurts to see them anxious and miserable when things change in their lives. |
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound serious. He doesn't have breathing problems at any other time; he has reversed sneezing (?) or gulping for breath when I get home from the store. It really goes away fast. I think my husband actually caused it by making too big of a production when he came home from work, he would talk excitedly to him and get him even more worked up, and of course I did this too, but at least it wasn't daily! I think it's pretty common with dogs here, I've read that many other dogs do this, and trainers just say to ignore them the first few minutes after you get home, but I found this impossible to do, so it's just a short greeting at first. I asked the vet about it, and he wasn’t concerned. I’m kind of surprised, you hadn’t heard of this before. I think it's more common with dogs who are rarely left alone.
