Bokezu Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am a little concerned because sometimes when he is sleeping he breathes really loudly or irregular, and he snores really loud sometimes too! Is this normal for a 5 month old? I can't remember my 2 girls doing it. Also the other night it was really hot here and he was panting really loudly. He is a Vizsla, and is very active and seems very healthy though he has always been a fussy eater, not like the other 2. Any help would be appreciated.

rugerfly Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yep....pups breathe irregularly sometimes mostly quite fast. you will find pups tend to tuck their neck in and under, like squishing their airway. causes a bit of snoring! Fussy eaters are a pain, dont give in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOE Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Good lord you should sleep next to my Elka the gsd she makes snoring a musical pastime sounds like she is dying in the middle of the night My old vizsla Abby was a terrible eater so we used to feed her barbecue chicken to get her to eat ended up we fed her barbe chicken for the next 13 1/2 years, so dont spoil him he will eat when hungry :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokezu Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks rugerfly and isaviz I feel better knowing its normal. I have spent a fortune on food, and I know I'm spoiling him but he won't eat Eagle Pack or Eukanuba or chicken mince or beef mince. But he will eat chicken wings and necks if he's hungry. Today I nearly bought him a barbeque chicken, but instead got him some pork strips and beef sausages and cooked them and he had a feast he loves cooked sausages. I made some Barf patties also, the girls loved them, he wouldn't even taste them, he didn't like the smell of them! He has a very high opinion of himself, but hey he's gorgeous so who's complaining, gotta love the V's. Thanks :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bokezu Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 arby, it would be a lot easier if he didn't share the same bed as me! :cool: I am so glad he's not the only one that does it, but Isure hope he grows out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same with sam, but after speaking to my vet majority of puppys are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
