Help Needed! Looking for advice

[Luvabullicious]

My 3yearold female bully has a small trachea and has always had issues with throwing up a sticky foam after exerting herself. She is prone to get pneumonia from aspirating so I try to keep her calm. However. Lately it’s been worse and has he will vomit so easily like a small piece of kibble gets stuck in throat for a while after eating mostly.. anyone have any advice? I have her food elevated when she eats... keep her calm after eating. So sad to see her vomit piles of gooey sticky foam like glue almost. Or her kibbles. Thanks. Though of feeding lemon juice to break up foam?

Oh my goodness, I'm SO sorry... I'm going to tag some members that may be able to help. Have you thought about feeding her soft food, such as raw or fresh patties? That may be easier to swallow...

Since the trachea cannot be modified surgically this is a good start...soft easier to swallow food. Try it and see what happens.

Agree with soft food,,,, raw, dehydrated raw, soak kibble in water... see if any of that helps
