kima Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Ever since Marlo was a puppy I have noticed that occasionally when he is sleeping he seems to stop breathing for 5-10 seconds before taking a really deep breath and back to normal. It seems very similar to sleep apnoea in humans and from what I gather dogs can get it to. He is a Stafford and a really loud snorer so it seems like an entirely likely possibility. I intend to take him to the vet next week to get it checked out but was just wondering in the meantime if others have had similar experiences and what the outcome was?

Guest Ams Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 He may have an elongated palate or stenotic nares, both of which will effect breathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
