QUESTION:
She often gets gaggy, like hiccups. Sometmes she spits up, mostly just
miserable. I usually take her on my lap and rub her tummy and head to relax her
with soothing soft talk. Seems to occur for no reason and lasts longer each
time. She’s not a nervous dog at all. Esophogeal? What to do? Thanks for
your time–
ANSWER:
Hi,
Oesophageal disorders are not very frequent. On the contrary, pharyngeal/tracheal infections are very common (such as kennel cough) and tracheal issues (such as tracheal collapse) is common in small breed dogs.
If your dog is retching, I would be suspicious that he suffers from a pharyngeal/tracheal problem. Because he feels miserable, it would be interesting to measure his temperature to make sure that he is not feverish.
Anyway, I would recommend that you visit your local vet so that Scott gets a full clinical examination. It might be that your doggy has a simple tracheal infection and just needs some antibiotics.
Best regards.

If you suffer from any type of allergy, you know how miserable it can make you feel. Our pets can suffer from allergies too, and it can make them just as miserable. Allergies occur when the bodies immune system overreacts to a substance. Unlike people, pets don’t suffer from sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. They are more likely to suffer from itchy skin and hair loss.
There are four ways pets can be exposed to allergens. A common allergy for cats and dogs is from flea bites. It does not take an infestation, one flea bite can cause a reaction. Your will notice your pet scratching, licking and chewing at his skin as well as patches of hair loss. When you treat your pet for fleas, it is important that you also treat your home as well.

ANSWER :
Dogs have feelings. They can experience what happiness, sadness, calmness and anxiety is all about. Just take a look at your dog’s behavior whenever it sees you. Maybe it is so excited that it jumps and twirls at your presence and even licks your face. But what if it suddenly hides and stays away from your field of vision? This behavior indicates what kind of owner you are. Seriously, you can tell that I’m pretty sure! The part you play as the owner is very vital to your pets behavior. You might not know it but your pooch’s life depends and revolves around you.
