[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 607309, member: 14557"] Snoring in dogs is mostly due to deformed palate. It also causes dog trouble when warm. Dogsw keep that snoring noice, because they can not get air properly to their lungs. If it is bad (in other words, if it is not just snoring when sleeping and extreme heat or excitement but happens regularly also when dog is awake and not in extreme conditions), it usually means dog needs to be operated or euthanised. As you can imagine, having to live without being able to breath normally and feeling like choking all the time is torture. The problem is common with dogs with very short nose (can occur also with dogs without these facial abnormalities, but is rare with dog with normal, well balanced head.) English Bulldog is the worst breed. Their faces are so deformed that very high percentage has to be operated because of this. And you are right Shih Tzu, is other notorious breed when it comes to this issue. Chihuahuas do have normally developed noses, so that helps your little guy and his situation is not likely so bad as many Shih Tzus . [/QUOTE]
