My 8 year old recently recovered from a mild bout of pneumonia (treated with Clavamox for 3 weeks).
Starting last night I noticed she was yawning more than usual. This has continued into today. While many of these were full yawns, there has also been a lot of “half” yawns where she starts to yawn but seemingly stops herself. Like she opens her mouth but then doesn’t fully yawn.
Has anyone experienced this with their pup? She seems totally normal otherwise and is eating all her food. Good energy.
My only concerns are that this is somehow related to her pneumonia since she finished her antibiotics about 5 days ago. But she’s not showing any other signs of respiratory distress apart from these weird yawns. I’ve also heard that sudden increased yawning could be a sign of heart disease. But her recent chest x-rays (from her pneumonia treatment) didn’t show anything abnormal heart-wise.
