We've been to the vet for one thing or another nearly EVERY WEEK with Beckham.
a month ago it was a cold, then it was another cold, then a little eye infection, and now? He has this MAJOR PROBLEM with pulling on his leath when he gets too excited. this, of course, leads to him making a hairball-related noise off and on for a while during the day.
Is this normal for him to keep making this noise?? Has anyone had this happen before? He'll do it until he sounds hoarse, which he's doing this morning. It's almost like he feels like something is caught in his throat and he's trying to clear it. We've brought him in for this before, and they didn't really say too much about it. But my girlfriend brings him to work so its hard when he's making these awful hacking noises.
She and I are just so concerned and so TIRED, to make matters worse totally off subject, my dad tried to kill himself a few weeks ago and is in the hospital, which is only adding to the stress.
I feel like it's rediculous to bring him into the vet AGAIN for this. And Morgan is going to start getting in trouble at work for leaving, and I have to visit my dad in the hospital today so I can't take him. And if we do, they say its nothing!
Any advice on this whole weird throat thing would help. We were also told NOT to use harnesses/gentle leaders for boxers due to lack of control?? I'm just at a loss here. Thanks all.
