| Breathing cut off when laying down My poor baby is having trouble laying down. Somewhere he air is being cut off but it's not his trachea (had it checked). He bolts up when he sleeps and gasps for a air. Then he is OK. THe vet is dumbfounded as to where the airway is being cutoff. His nose is open, his palate is short enough. Has anyone had this problem. I have to prop him up at night and he (and I) are totally sleep deprived. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i'm sorry you baby is having breathing problems. I would take him to a specialist and have an airway exam done under sedation.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | wow, i'm so sorry you guys can't find anything wrong. could it be as simple as am upper respiratory infection and he only gets irritated when he's in a certain position? Also have you done chest x-rays? is there fluid in or around his lungs?
