The chewed stick is not all that rare...<br />
One of the dogs bred by me years back had a nasty lump at the back of its throat that was (at first) thought to be cancer.<br />
Turned out it was a part of a stick that had worked itself under the skin and healed in.

Thank you susan I will check with the vet all the things you said. My hunch is that it is something he was born with as first noticed it when he was 10 weeks old and it progressed, then went away nearly and now progressing again. The breeders are also keen to know what it is too.<br />
By the way are pin bones the ones that are above the bottom and one on each side?

Hi Sue<br />
Mine get weighed if they are at the vet. Only thing I would say with setters is that I dont like to be able to see the pin bones. I always feel with young ones that this is a clear sign I should be stepping up what they are getting.<br />

Having had a boy that was a permanent toast rack I discovered that the best way to stop him looking like a refugee was to give him a bowl of porridge at night (not for everyone as it has all sorts of connotations for the allergic dogs etc) I found a small…

Having had a boy that was a permanent toast rack I discovered that the best way to stop him looking like a refugee was to give him a bowl of porridge at night (not for everyone as it has all sorts of connotations for the allergic dogs etc) I found a small supper meal before they went to bed settled well and meant they werent hungry through the night. Neither did they get to burn it straight back off again.<br />

It is definitely a dry cough and wretching and also like he has something stuck in his throat. No mucus. It is sometimes like he had been sneaking a crafty cigar in his bed! It has my vet hospital baffled and they are one of the best in the country!!! But also I can't just having them repeating tests all the time as I have to keep waiting for insurance monies to then pay straight back out again. Thank goodness for insurance because the bills are amazing!but if it works and a treatment/cure is…

I tried looking around and didn't get much on it. Toy breeds can have that collapsing trachia thing but you would have noticed under exam when they rub it. If sure is a head scratcher. Is it a dry cough versus a productive, more musuc producer type? Just love medical research although after my last two dogs you would think I had had enough of it!

Hi Susan, Reuben is under the care of a specialist at a vet hospital and had several bronchoscopies etc but no diagnosis. I am phoning the consultant tomorrow as his cough seems to be getting slightly worse again and I am wondering if they have considered Laryngeal Paralysis yet.<br />
He has been worse last November time and had antibiotics etc and seemed to improve but it has never totally gone and sems to be creeping back up again. It is strange He was tested for megasophagus (spelling?) and was…

Yes Louise I sure would be concerned about that undiagnosed cough as well if it were my dog. Have you only consulted with your vet on it?
