Why does a dog snore: how to understand if it needs veterinary help
A dog may snore and some people find it funny, but everything has its reasons. If snoring in humans indicates health problems, then why should it be any different for a dog?
It only remains to figure out in which cases the help of a specialist will be required.
Why does a dog snore, reports the publication Pravda.ru with reference to dog handler Vyacheslav Golubev.
Snoring problem
Snoring, as a source of noise, can disturb a person. But mainly it is a sign of a health problem.
These could be nasal polyps, malocclusion, weight problems and other troubles.
Overweight dogs may even grunt, which indicates allergies, respiratory infections, or parasites.
But not all dogs snore as a symptom of illness.
It is possible that the dog simply sleeps in an uncomfortable position or the snoring is a consequence of nervous tension.
For some breeds, snoring is a feature. These include dogs with flat muzzles.
But there is one general recommendation when a snoring pet needs to be taken to a veterinarian.
This is pronounced thinness, lethargy, restless behavior, discharge from the eyes or nose.
