I purchased Maximus from a pet store about a month ago. He just turned 3 months yesterday and im guessing around 15 pounds. I took him to the vet when i bought him cause he was having these gagging issues as if he wanted to throw up. (kinda like a cat removing a hairball). His nose is runny. He was prescribed Doxicyline tablets and Hycodan Syrup. The vet said it was an upper respiratory infection, he also recommended me leave him in the bathroom with the shower running really hot so he can breathe in the steam. He has been on the medication going on two weeks. He was very active once on the meds and was happy and upbeat. Until yesterday the Doxicyline tablets ran out and he is back to the gagging and being very lackadaisical today. I was doing research and wanted to know what people thought about a possible elongated palate?? I don't believe my vet is very experienced with Bullies. Then again I could be wrong. Maximus is my first dog so I don't know much. Im gonna call the vet to set if i can get a refill on the Doxicyline but I wanna try another vet to get another opinion. HAs anyone had this issue with the bully?? Please help!! HE still eats and drinks as normal
