Abbey has the same problem. She sounds phlegmy sometimes and seems to gag clearing her throat. It's not too often but it is daily. Our vet thinks she may need soft palette surgery when she's older. He said he won't know for sure til she's under so he can get a good look but he's 90% sure that's her problem. He's seen a lot of Bullies, we were lucky to find him.

We had the same problem when we first brought our puppy home. We started adding a little lemon juice in her water and it really helps to cut the phlegm

Glad to hear that she got the A OK from the vet

Back from the vet- she checked out fine, her palate and nostrils look fine. No hypoplastic trachea. She's just a noisy breather and he said just really watch her in the summer and don't let her stay outside and get overheated. Which I already know to do with bullie. So YAY! And her cherry eyes were fixed. She's now snoring away on her favorite bed.

So happy to hear she does not need the procedure....
