Help Needed! bulldog puppy sounds congested

[Pati Robins]

Got a strange question ...Lily sound like she had flem it is kind of like trying to clear his throat when he has the congestion (but not trying to vomit or cough -is just in with the breathing) she is fine played, eat well, drank her water
just wondering id its common with puppies ? we been t the vet on thusday and the only concern vet had is her breathing ( widening nostrils op soon)
(it doesn't sound for me like a kennel cough - i fostered few dogs who suffered with it )
we have next appointment for Lily next week for her jabs so i will double check with the vet , but just to make sure i ask here as well (just in caase i need to see vet sooner)

Is this a constant thing with Lily? Sometimes I will hear a "wet" sound coming from Tate's throat but that's not very common and happens if he's playing hard or excited. Something for you to definitely bring up to the vet on Thursday. If she starts vomiting mucus (or anything), or coughing, then I'd probably want to bring her in sooner but sounds like you know what to look out for.

 

[Pati Robins]

yes she sounds wet and yes when she is too exited she sounds horrible , when shes calm - she sounds kind of like "cats purring noise" ? should i be worried ??? as i take her to an emergency vet xxxx

Is this a recent thing .. was she doing it before or after she went to her recent vet visit?

 

[Pati Robins]

she was doing it before , once in a vet she was purring and vet then said that she is concerned about he brathing as she is breathing heavy while doing nothing that is why she suggested an op x

 

[cali baker]

Since Lily is acting fine otherwise, I don't think i'd take her to the emergency vet. BUT, if you feel she's worsening and cannot wait til Thurs, then of course, you would need to do that. Everything else okay w/Lily healthwise? I'm sure the vet listened to her heart and lungs during the last visit as these would also be affecting her breathing issues.

thank you Cali - im keeping an eye on her , and trying to keep her calm until the operation in next few weeks - im just constantly worried since losing my beloved boxer on cancer over a year ago(no one knew till the last 5 days of her life -so now im over reacting on a slightest thing xxx

Oh, I'm so sorry about your Boxer.
We pet parents all tend to be a little over reactive, especially w/our bullies...but that's okay...it's better to be over-attentive, i think! You're doing a great job!

Is your vet a bully specialist? If not I would find one. It sounds like she may have an elongated palate. Does she sometimes have problems swallowing her food? I would find a good bully vet and ask him to check her palate.

How old is Lily?

 

[Pati Robins]

Hi Davith - yes my vet have a bullie herself -i will ask about it, thank you .No Lily doesnt have problems swallowing food when eating
Hi Christy - Lily is 10 weeks now xx (full of attitude )

Glad to hear it was nothing too serious.... watch her in the heat, those tiny nostrils can make it very hard to breathe

Hi everyone
I wonder if you could give me some advice please. I have just purchased a 5 1/2 month bulldog. She is a lovely dog with a really cheeky character and she loves my staffie. The advice I am after is she has had the enlongated soft palate operation about a month and a half ago. Sometimes she still sounds very raspy and crackly and a couple of times she has coughed up some phleim.is this natural and will it clear in time or will it stay the same? I was assured that she has been given a clean bill of health by the vet that performed the operation.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you
