Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have a 18-month old, 27-lb. rat terrier. He's developed a nasty cough over the past few months -- it sounds like he's coughing up phlegm. He's actually coughed up phlegm twice. The cough is prominent when he is lying down/sleeping.
We took him to the vet, and she said not to worry -- he has a sagging membrane, which is apparently common in small dogs. Essentially, his throat is too small for his body.
Has anyone else had this problem with their rat?
Thank you! |
