I have a ten month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, she pulls on the lead when walking and twice last week she all of a sudden seemed like she couldn't breathe very well. She was breathing in and out of her nose really hard as though she was struggling to breathe and as though she couldn't breathe through her mouth.
I stopped walking her on the lead (off the lead in the field instead), however, this morning she wasn't doing anything and it happened, again as though she couldn't breathe through her mouth just struggling to breathe through the nose.
I went to see a new vet this morning (couldn't get in with my usual) and he said she seemed fine, there was nothing wrong with her.
My friend then told me that her dog used to do this and it was because a flap at the back of the mouth was stopping her from breathing through her mouth? Yet the vet mentioned nothing.
Please could anybody advise me on this? I am really worried, I have made an appointment with my usual vet on Thursday who will hopefully know more.
