Hi all,

I have a almost 7 month old intact male frenchie named Lil’ Louie and about a month ago we noticed that when he would drink too fast , sometimes after eating , burping or playing with his toys he would gag. Just the one sound , sometimes would bring up some water , once regurgitated his food . He does not breath with an open mouth, does not have any exercise intolerance , eats well , and over all is a normal happy puppy. The only other thing that concerns me is that at night when he’s relaxing and trying to sleep with me on the couch he seems unsettled unless he can have his head resting on somthing . He will get up and reposition. Himself multiple times , sometimes just stands there dazed .Even does this on long car rides ( wants to rest it on the glove box) . When he’s out in his crate with his bed though he seems settled and content ( though that could be because his bed has raised edges that he can rest his head on) . He does have somewhat noisy breathing during sleep and is a bit snorty during the day but is never gasping for air , gums and tongue are always nice and pink. I had a consultation booked with a specialist but canceled as I felt I was over reacting and would want to wait until he’s fully grown to think about assessing him and doing the surgery if necessary. Anyone have any insight to this ? Am I being paranoid ? Someone help my brain relax lol
 
Hi and welcome… not being paranoid… have him evaluated and see if the vet get is necessary to address now or can it wait till he is a little older. There is no age limit to when this procedure is needed it is more around the severity of each situation

Thanks for your reply and making me feel like I’m not crazy! I guess what’s concerning me the most (lately) is the weird thing with him sleeping. Like I mentioned in my post, he sleeps fine when he’s not with me and in his crate but it’s just the unsettling outside of it . Do you think this is BOAS related? Or just weird puppy behaviour?
