Ugh. This past week we keep getting awoken by our 3.5 month puppy making this strange dry heaving / coughing / or gagging sound... it is kind of hard to describe. It seems to happen throughout the night and only during the night, not during the day. His energy levels are great, appetitite, etc. During the day he seems absolutely great.
It sounds like he's going to vomit but doesn't. Initially we wrote it off but are starting to worry b/c the past couple of nights it's been happening quite a bit. It's like he needs to cough up a hairball or something. He did throw up one time during the night last week but from what I remember he wasn't dry heaving then repeatedly like he is now.
Any ideas on this? I'm wondering if it could be a sinus drip or something... but also wonder if it could be an elongated palate that gets in his way of breathing when he sleeps.
I know bulldogs are prone to breathing issues so I'm not sure what this could be. I already have a message out to the vet but figured you all might offer some great insight.
Thanks so much. I love this puppy and want to make sure he is okay.
