why is my six my old puppie wake up in the middle of the night with choking sounds?

lol they’re still learning to use the muscles and what not. plus they drink milk and/or eat soft food creating mucus. i raised lab puppies…its no biggie

oh…i thought you may have meant 6 weeks…idk

Its not choking its just hoarse. When you first take a puppy from its mom and if you make it sleep by it self its going to cry because it misses its mom. the best solution is to get something soft like a bear that makes noises or let it sleep with you in your bed. Or it could be hungry puppies r use to eating at all time of nights because the puppy its use o=to gettin fed by its mom

aww..?

It’s six months old people, not a newborn. I’d take him in to see if it was like a lung problem, or like asthma or something. But this is what I found…

The most common cause of reverse sneezing is an irritation of the soft palate and throat that results in a spasm. During the spasm, the dog’s neck will extend and the chest will expand as the dog tries harder to inhale. The problem is that the trachea has narrowed and it’s hard to get the normal amount of air into the lungs. Anything that irritates the throat can cause this spasm and subsequent sneeze. Causes include excitement, eating or drinking, exercise intolerance, pulling on a leash, mites, pollen, foreign bodies caught in the throat, perfumes, viruses, household chemicals, allergies, and post-nasal drip. If an irritant in the house is the cause, taking the dog outside can help simply because the dog will no longer be inhaling the irritant. Brachycephalic dogs (those with flat faces, such as Pugs and Boxers) with elongated soft palates occasionally suck the elongated palate into the throat while inhaling, causing reverse sneezing. Small dogs are particularly prone to it, possibly because they have smaller throats. Reverse sneezing itself rarely requires treatment. If the sneezing stops, the spasm is over. Oftentimes, you can massage the dog’s throat to stop the spasm; sometimes it’s effective to cover the nostrils, which makes the dog swallow, which clears out whatever the irritation is and stops the sneezing. If the episode doesn’t end quickly, you can try depressing the dog’s tongue, which opens up the mouth and aids in moving air through the nasal passages. Treatment of the underlying cause, if known, is useful. If mites are in the laryngeal area, your veterinarian may use dru.gs such as ivermectin to get rid of the mites. If allergies are the root of the problem, your veterinarian may prescribe antihistamines. Because reverse sneezing is not a severe problem, do not worry about leaving your dog home alone; if it occurs when you’re not there, the episode will most likely end on its own. If reverse sneezing becomes a chronic problem rather than an occasional occurrence, your veterinarian may need to look up the nasal passages (rhinoscopy), and may even need to take a biopsy to determine the cause of the problem. Sometimes, however, no cause can be identified. http://funadvice.com/r/beu5q8kqr5b

Lol i got the best answer :D for saying aww :D lol

apparently empathy is appreciated

lol

my 10 year old pincher has asthma, kills me when she gets spasms & vet says there is nothing that can be done for it. :(

As she is getting older its getting harder for her to breath. Some say its just a dog, but it really isnt! It becomes a part of your life like a member of the family. :(

Your puppy could have Kennel Cough, you should take it to the Vet, or if that’s not an option you could atleast call your puppy’s vet and ask them what it could possibly be. Also, Puppies can have nightmares, sometimes my puppy wakes up in the night due to that and makes strange sounds or starts breathing having/crying. Sometimes it just needs to be pet so it knows it was just a dream and that it’s okay. haha. sounds cheesey but if it is because of nightmares then it worked for my puppy :P Kennel cough can be serious though if you don’t get it checked out. So I would call the vet.
