Dog gagging and coughing
I have a 14 mo choc lab, female. last night before bed she gagged a couple times, was fine during the night and then today has gagged here and there. its as if she has something stuck in her throat, like a hair. she HAS been licking herself a lot lately and i know when i do brush her i get lots of hair so i'm thinking its probably hair. she is eating and drinking fine and seems fine. now i called the emerg vet and they said all they could say was to bring her in. i don't think its necessary. my question is- wouldn't i have some clue she was bleeding internally if that was the problem. she has been perfectly healthy and has not had anything hard recently. we gave her a pig ear on thursday night, thats it. please tell me what you think. |

Purchasing puppy with one blue eye
I am looking to purchase a Tibetan Spaniel puppy who is white and sable parti color. His left eye has a sable patch around it. The right side of his face is white. Instead of being black, his right eyelids are pink and he has a blue ring around his pupil. What has caused this? What problems may he encounter due to this? Is it hereditary? AND can it be passed on to his offspring? The breeder says he is not blind. Thank you!
