Hello Everyone,
Firstly thank you so much for taking time to read this, i hope you can help because i feel like i am going insane.
I have a gorgeous 18 month old Australian Bulldog - Called Diego.
In his short life so far he has had numerous surgeries to remove:
- elongated soft pellet and tonsils (approx 6 months ago)
This surgery changed his life: He can now run 200+ metres and not gag/throw up.
- 1 laryngeal saccule (that had turned inside out, 2 weeks ago)
Although he has had all these surgeries and looks healthy, he is still gagging/throwing up mixes of white foam and food about once a day. I am now at a stage where i feel as though my dogs diet/stomach issues are driving us crazy.
He is on a relatively low fat diet, eating as close to natural cooked food as possible, as he also has undignosed mild pancreatitis/sensitive stomach. He eats twice a day, about a fist size portion of wet food and has dry food to nibble on throughout the day.
His breathing is relatively fine, I mean he does snore and the like but nothing that causes him damage or no issues with breathing.
After all these surgeries I was hoping the gagging would hopefully stop as although it isn't causing him great distress i can not imagine it to be a good feeling and its just in general annoying.
I have started to look at Brachycephalic Syndrome, but that is basically more about breathing than the gagging issues.
So if anyone has any ideas (no matter how crazy) i would love to hear them?
Is there anymore tests i should be asking the vets to do?
Any possible medication for pancreatitis/vomiting that he could be on?
Thank you so much......
Jo & Diego
