Hi All! My little Emma louise has been doing a sort of 'heeving' a few times a day.. it seems like she's trying to clear something.. but there's nothing htat appears to be lodged.. and I've felt for it. Its been suggested that it might be dust or that is just really dry outside.. any thoughts? Does anyone elses pup do this?
Thanks amyk
also
I notice it more right after he plays with his toy or has been licking his paws, maybe it's from hair?
not sure
I know that the lemon juice helps loosen the phlegm and that usually what he's trying to clear out of his throat, we also use a humidifier because it is so dry here, good luck!
Sincerely,
Liz
Spanky does this too
we usually give hime some lemon juice to clear up the phlegm it seems to work, good luck!
Sincerely,
Liz
soak her kibble
if she is reverse sneezing, soaking her kibble in a little water and then adding a little more warm water just before feeding can help.
I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

It could be that she...
has an elongated pallete. Or she could have an allergy or kennel cough.

kibby does this too..
kibby has been doing this more lately, so i thought she had a cold or pneumonia but the dr. checked her out and said that her palette is still growing or as kibby gets older it will droop more thus causing more funny congestion and heaving. I thought it was allergies and i got a humidifier too but it didnt seem to work so thank goodness the dr. figured it out... good luck!
whats it from?
is it from dirt or air particles? If i got an air purifier would that help?
