Dogs are very afraid of heat and will start to pant heavily in the summer. Having said that, when the weather is not too hot, dogs will occasionally pant heavily, just like asthma, so you need to pay attention to this. So why does the dog huff like an asthmatic sound? How can I relieve my dog from wheezing like he has asthma? Next, let’s take a look at what to do if your dog is snoring like he has asthma.
1. Foreign objects in the nose
If foreign objects such as hair, flying insects, and stones accidentally enter the dog's nose, the nose will make a wheezing sound when breathing. In this regard, the owner can observe whether there is any visible foreign matter in the dog's nasal cavity under the light. If there is, you can try to use saline to flush the dog's nasal cavity to wash out the foreign matter.
2. Vigorous exercise
Dogs will also make wheezing sounds like asthma after strenuous exercise. This is normal. As long as there are no problems with the dog's mental and appetite conditions, the owner does not need to worry too much. He only needs to move the dog to a cool and ventilated place to rest and prepare some water for the dog.
3. Respiratory system infection
If your dog, in addition to making snoring sounds, is also accompanied by sneezing, runny nose, cough, loss of mental appetite, fever and other symptoms, it may be caused by respiratory infection. Due to the increase in nasal secretions and sputum, symptoms such as difficulty breathing and wheezing may occur. It is recommended to go to a pet hospital for treatment immediately.
If you find that your dog is breathing very heavily or rapidly, you must pay attention~
