Is there a way to get your dog to stop snoring?

Question by blondechick89: Is there a way to get your dog to stop snoring?
I have a 3 pound chihuahua. She is 3 years old and is so loud at snoring. I was wondering is this normal? Is there a way to get her where she doesn't snore as loud? It's not a loud snore where you can hear it throughout the entire house, but you can hear it over the television and its gets distracting when I am doing homework. I feel bad because I have to constantly wake her up.

Answer by Sara
There really isn't unless there's some underlying health reason for her to snore. She may have minor throat deformities that are making it hard for her to breath when she's asleep. Sometime, surgery can correct it. She could also have allergies or nasal drip. She could also just be a dog that snores. Usually it's flat faced breeds (like Bulldogs or Boston Terriers) but any dog can snore.
Unfortunately, unless there's a health issue that can be resolved, it may just be something you have to live with.

He has tried the breathe right strips but it did not work? Please help?


Best answer:

Answer by G
He might be a throat snorer. Breathe Right also makes throat spray and throat strips that help to tighten the muscles in the throat and lubricate the air way. It's worth a shot!

what is a stop snoring mouthpiece?

Answer by GoodMorningSnoreSolution
Hello,

Here is a little info on different types of stop snoring mouthpieces, and other options;


Mandibular Displacement Appliances. These can consist of two plastic trays (some are hard, some are soft) custom molded by dentists to the patient's maxillary and mandibular teeth. Elastic straps attach the trays and pull the mandible forward, opening the airway. They are clinically proven to reduce snoring, but require custom fitting by a sleep specialist, and can be associated with serious side effects, including muscle/jaw pain and permanent shifts in jaw alignment/bite. Mandibular appliances are not 100% effective -patients can pay $ 1500 - 3000 for a custom device.


We have an alternative type of mouthpiece, or oral device. The Good Morning Snore Solution fits comfortably between the lips and teeth. Squeezing the end of the device will create suction, comfortably pulling the tongue forward and away from the back of the throat resulting in an open air passage, improved breathing and reducing or eliminating snoring and sleep apnea. The cost is around $ 100.


Other options to remedy snoring include:


Surgery; usually considered the option of last resort, and for good reason, as it carries significant risks and has a high rate of failure or relapse.

CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is the standard of care for OSA, as it is 100% effective when in use, however compliance is very low due to the intrusiveness of the apparatus. People often abandon CPAP and may turn to custom-fitted appliance such as mandibular displacement appliances, but many go untreated due poor alternative treatment options.

There are numerous over-the-counter anti-snoring products such as nasal sprays and nose strips, which are less expensive and more convenient, however, there is little to no clinical data to support that these products work.



Again, it's important to note that different solutions will work better for some than others. If you plan on trying out any of the devices, patience and tenacity are a virtue.

My dog snores like a truck driver! How do I keep her from snoring all the time?

Question by Penelope: My dog snores like a truck driver! How do I keep her from snoring all the time?
It used to be when my dog was a little puppy she would snore once in a while. But now she snores all the time. She is around 7 yrs. old now and she snores so loudly she can wake up the family upstairs. Sometimes I laugh, but sometimes I have to go pat her lightly to waken her so she will stop. It only lasts for about 20 minutes then she is back to sounding like a high powered buzz saw.

Try repositioning her to lay on her stomach, if you can.

How to keep a neutral larynx?

Question by danielley: How to keep a neutral larynx?
I can't find a solid answer anywhere, how can I keep my larynx neutral when I sing? I heard that if you have a neutral larynx your voice has more power and I want that. I've heard all the "hold one finger right above the larynx" but that doesnt stop it from moving. Is there a technique or excersizes I can use?? And please dont just say practice. You can't practice if you don't know how.


Best answer:

Answer by Cheryl allison
I have a degree in Laryngeal Biomechanics, a degree in the Physics of sound and I've been singing for 40 years and a teacher of voice for 20 years and I have never heard of the term "Neutral Larynx". I think in biological terms they mean Laryngeal release..releasing the muscles of the larynx. The larynx moves even when you snore. A laryngeal release - will ensure a clear passageway for air and frequency. So here's how you can practice so that you know how. The most common cause of a tense larynx and vocal muscle is the pulling up of your stomach muscles and belly. Let your belly be floppy and into the left hip and thigh muscle while singing unless your singing at the very end of your high register. A floppy belly will release your tongue muscle and and therefore your larynx. Remember the root of your tongue is joined to your larynx. Release the tongue and bingo! no tension-laryngeal release and a lot more projection. A high note to project means you have to learn another technique which is called "closed Velarport. Whole new technique but I hope I have helped you so that you can get into your practice and improve.

How to help my fiance stop snoring?

Question by Savannah Rhae: How to help my fiance stop snoring?
It's four in the morning, and I'm up because my fiance's snoring is keeping me awake. I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks and I'm at the end of my rope. I've tried getting him to sleep on his side or on his stomach, but once he's asleep he just flops right back over onto his back. Which would be alright if I could just nugde him and ask him to turn over again, but it takes about five minutes of shaking and talking into his ear to get him to wake up. Needless to say, if it wasn't for me he'd never be on time for work lol I'm a VERY light sleeper so even though he doesn't snore as loudly as some people, it still keeps me up. He has gained some weight, and I know that that causes your soft pallate to press down onto the back of your throat, but losing weight isn't something he wants to do at the moment. Is there ANYTHING else I could try?? We don't have $ 800 to spend on a mouth piece unfortunately. I just thought there might be some obscure home remedy to this. If anyone knows of anything, no matter how odd, please let me know. Thanks! :)
We tried the breathe right strips and they didn't do a thing. Earplugs would work, but I have a feeling those would keep me awake too. Worth a try though at this point lol

Can big tonsils make it harder to breathe?

Question by : Can big tonsils make it harder to breathe?
I have big tonsils and i snore.And i feel i need to breathe from my mouth more then my nose.


Best answer:

Answer by Karen
Yes they can, especially during sleep. Your throat relaxes when you sleep and all that extra tissue can get in the way and cause snoring and sleep apnea. Two of my children have had their tonsils and adenoids removed due to sleep apnea, both had sleep studies and were stopping breathing many times during the night and sounded like freight trains, now they sleep quite silently and are much more rested when they wake up. You should get evaluated by an Ear,Nose and Throat Dr and have your airways checked.

From: http://www.entusa.com/tonsils_adenoid_surgery.htm
Generally, there are two reasons why a child may need tonsils or adenoids removed. Most patients believe the most common reason to remove tonsils is to treat sore throats. However, the most frequent reason for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy is airway obstruction. Seventy-five percent of patients have a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for this reason

Bf snores like a lumberjack. Can this be caused by his weight and constant pot smoking?

Question by l: Bf snores like a lumberjack. Can this be caused by his weight and constant pot smoking?
My current boyfriend smokes pot at least 15 per week. He snores soooo LOUD at night and we have now resorted to sleeping in different rooms of our apartment. He is overweight and doesn't eat very healhy. I really want him to either eat better and exercise or go to the doctor and see if he possibly has sleep apnea. Can his excessive pot smoking be linked to the snoring?!?! This is starting to hinder our relationship and my sleep at night! Any help appreciated!


Best answer:

Answer by Jay S
It could be related. Snoring can be caused by being overweight (this is the number one factor), undiagnosed allergies (this is the number 2 factor) or sleeping on our back. He should try losing just a little weight. It really helps. In the meantime, he should use a warm mist-humidifier at night. He should also use the tennis ball trick. You put a tennis ball in a sock and pin it to the back of the shirt he sleeps in. Then, if he rolls over on to his back at night, the ball will nudge him back on to his side. Whatever you can do to help him stop snoring, it's worth it. Snoring has been linked to a 67% increased risk of stroke.
