Hey guys,
My buddy Jake, our labrador retriever, just past the 12 year mark. He's still in great shape for his age, but there's one thing that's starting to bother me.
At night, he makes this awful HEEEUUUULLLLFFFFF sound that sounds just like a drunk with the dry heaves. He doesn't throw up or anything, he just makes this really gross, LOUD sound, and then rolls over and goes back sleep.
The first time he did it it scared the hell out of me. I thought a damn wino had wondered into our bedroom or something.
When I mentioned it to our vet he basically shrugged it off and said "Yeah, dogs do that sometimes as they get older" and seemed to feel that it was nothing.
I'd just like a second opinion if anyone has one. Do any of your older dogs do this ? Anyone know why ?
