Hi everyone! Was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I brought tucker home about 6 weeks ago(8 weeks old). I noticed when I brought him home that he seemed to have a very runny(clear) nose, and seemed to pant a lot! When I brought him in for a check up, the doc said his lungs sounded good, and that he had a strong ticker. Also that he was a very very big boy
. Anyway, since then he's gotten all of his puppy boosters + 2 dewormings and bordatella. He will be getting his rabies next monday.
Anyway, onto the questions. I've noticed that he is still panting pretty consistently. We always have the air conditioner on, and it is pretty cool in the house. Like right now, in his crate, even though he hasn't physically exerted himself, and it is about 75 degrees, he is panting(quite audible) with his tongue out. I also notice that he tends to snore and makes some weird noises while he is sleeping like his nose is clogged or something.
Also, another thing I've noticed is that he always has eye "boogers" when he wakes up and throughout the day. I examined his eyes a couple of days ago, and I noticed that his third eyelid seems to cover a very small part of his eye. If I'm standing above hm and he looks up at me, I can see a little red and some of that third eyelid(is that normal?) it's quite disconcerting. Other than that, he is a perfectly normal 14 week old pup. Really playful, is out most of the day playing, and sleeps perfectly through the night in his crate. A HUGE difference from the first week when he'd cry bloody murder in his crate. (again, right now he is looking at me with his tongue out, panting, his whole body moving with each pant).
His bowel movements are all normal, he has a great appetite, is drinking lots of water. Anyone have any insight?
I just clocked his breathing as he is sleeping in his crate right now, and it's right around 95 breaths per minute judging by rise and fall of chest. He looks like he's perfectly comfortable too. No signs of discomfort at all.
