This gorgeous hunk of love is Leo, 18 weeks and just over 25 pounds. I got him at 9 weeks and have been digestion issues from the beginning. Basically he vomits or heaves until he just crashes. Heās been to ER a multitude of times and hospitalized twice. The first time diagnosed with food bloat and in respiratory distress. Heās had every test done imaginable including an ultra sound all with normal results except for the US showed a slightly dialated Common Bile duct. I lowered his food amount and increase frequency. That helped a lot. We went several weeks without episodes until a week ago. He ate breakfast and was fine then suddenly started to heave and crashed. His vet seems to think the issue is his elongated pallet. Certainly he has signs of compromised airway given heās already snoring! She seems to think these episodes are related to the soft pallet suddenly blocking the airway and is proposing surgery. My first concern is his age of 4 1/2 months and including itāll most likely grow back. Anyone have experience with the pallet causing these issues?
Other than this, he is absolutely PERFECT in every way!
