She's always snored since she was a puppy but the older she gets the worse it gets. I mean when she's upstairs we can hear the vibration in the ceiling! Right now she's on the other side of the house and it's driving me crazy! If she had a "nose", I'd use a breathe right strip but her face is flat! I love her to death and she's an actual family member to us, so getting "rid" of her isn't an option. Any suggestions? ANYONE? PLEASE?

Your pets' snoring may be bothering you, but the chances are it probably isn't bothering them at all. Snoring usually means that a slight obstruction is vibrating while your pet breathes in his sleep. This could be something as minor as a loose area of tissue in the throat. It may be noisy, but it is unlikely to be a serious problem.
However, if your pet's snoring is consistently loud and lasts through the night, it may be interrupting his sleep pattern. If he seems unusually tired or grouchy during the day his snoring may be becoming a problem, and this may well be the result of allergies. In pets, as in people, being overweight can also cause snoring. Some breeds are also predisposed to snoring problems, such as the Pekingese.
You may like to try giving your dog a different bed in which he can try and sleep in a different position, perhaps exchange a long bed for a round one or vice versa. If you suspect that your dog suffers from allergies, try and figure out what the problem is and try to limit his exposure to it. Finally, if your pet is overweight, it is worth seeing if losing a few pounds will help reduce the problem - with the added bonus of an altogether happier, healthier dog!
However, as with all conditions, prolonged and severe symptoms may suggest an underlying health problem, and it is always worth visiting a vet for a checkup

Move out and give her the house.
ReplyDeleteI know this is gonna sound wierd but my Shi tzu used to have the same problem. The only way to stop it is to fart in the dogs face until it goes unconcious. If that doesnt work call the Ghostbusters they always know what to do.
ReplyDeleteNope, sorry. The snoring is a result of the Shih Tzus indented nose. If is a problem, contact your vet.
ReplyDeleteYou can always buy a good pair of earplugs.
ReplyDeleteA breathe right strip woudn't work anyway. Their bones are set up differently, and are much thicker.
ReplyDeleteYou could talk to a vet about options, but there probably isn't much you can do. Just sleep with some music on or earplugs.
