Jenna ontario, CA 7/17/2009 7:48:11 PM see my dog chokes when he is resting to. He is a mini schnauzer and overweight. Does his choking problems have somethimg to do with his weight?
Delores Lorain, OH 4/10/2009 2:50:38 PM I have a cockerspaniel/beagle mix, eight years old, last year she had a polyp on her gums it was removed but it grew back maybe 2 months later and bigger, it to was removed, now she is experiencing trouble when she eats especially if she eats to fast. She will hesitate after she swallows and she sounds congested when she is laying down and appears to struggle whenever she inhales. I took her to the vet on 3/20/09 and he gave her antibiotics pills he said she had swollen lymphnodes and a rectal infection from scooting on the floor. He said her swollen glands were the reason for her difficulty swallowing. I took her again in April because her swallowing hasn't improved and he gave her a antibotic shot even though I wanted xrays to confirm nothing was growing in her throat. He seems to think it's just an infection. I don't.I get frightened when she eats because I'm afraind she'll choke.
