Advice wanted
Hi guys I'm looking advice. My wee bestie has recently been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. He is however, at 10, still extremely hyper and playful. He coughs, swallows and gags quite a bit bringing up mucus in the process. Sometimes his food comes back up too but I have recently started giving him smaller amounts only more often which seems to have helped the food side of things fairly well. I would be !most appreciative on any advice you could give me to help alleviate his symptoms. Thanks a lot in advance

Hi John, welcome to the Forum.
I made your own thread as its quiet unique and will get more views this way.
I think little and often food might well be the way forward here. To be honest, bronchitis in dogs is not something I know too much about so would bow to vet advice.
Hopefully there will be someone that knows more than me that can offer better advice.

Re: Advice wanted
No experience with this either. I would keep feeding small frequent meals if that is helping

I think the only things you personally can do is give him plenty of gentle exercise (but not too close to meal times) and make sure he's getting good quality foods.
