QUESTION:

my mini daschand
seems to be making grunting noises when going upstairs ,but not all the time,he
runs all over the place ,,just lately i just dont know,he also snores real loud
lately.i have 2 other dogs 2 labs ,they are very gentle with him but i was
thinking what if they accidently hurt his back,,one minute he grunts then the
next he is fine.i am sure i will be taking him
to the vets this
week.

Answer :

Dear,

From your description your dog doesn’t seem to be hurt from other dogs, but changes in the nasal cavity (nose), sinuses or palate. Usually swollen mucose give this kind of sounds during exercises or sleaping. If back is hurt usually dog express problems in walking. Vet should examine upper airways and can perform neurological and x-ray examination for the spine.

Thruly,

Damjan
