Guest Fasave Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 A few times over the last six months, my 10 year old has had periods of snoring. Just when I decide to take to get him checked out, the snoring goes away. Well, the snoring is back and it really sounds more nasal than in the throat. Initially I was worried he might be showing signs of LP. Interestingly, he shows no other signs of breathing issues when he's awake and the snoring subsides once he goes into a deep sleep. I've been removing his tag collar at night just to make sure there's no pressure on his neck. Just curious if anyone has seen this. I find it interesting that it comes and goes so it seems more like colds but the frequency sort of concerns me. He's due for his rabies shot so I'll be taking him to the vets next week but I thought it would be good to have additional insights if anyone has experienced this with their pups. Thoughts appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scfilby Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Our 8 year old snores softly from time to time.. I think it's normal (for her anyway). Our beagle snores all time time, and loudly.. like DW.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimsmom Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Patches snores very lightly. My friends yellow lab snored like a human but she was very overweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heehoo Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Pipi & Gabby both snore when they're really tired. To your answer of do dogs get colds, yes. They also get strep throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Dogs do snore and they do get upper respiratory illnesses.

Sambuca Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I wouldn't worry as long as there are no other symptoms. I'm a pet sitter and I'm sometimes surprised at which dogs snore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Naty Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Melissa - Bailey sometimes snores - like a human snore. It has been so few and far between though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fastdogs Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Bandit is a big time snorer. Of course, he mushes his nose into anything he can find that's not rock hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
