He seems to consume whatever suits his fancy. The vet said we will "watch" for a while to see if he passes the rocks from either end, and if not she'll take care of it. One of the local vets has an endoscope and I was told they may be able to remove the rocks without surgery.

That is a good idea with the spray, though he tends to sniff and taste everything he comes in contact with... like a baby! I misstated what the vet said... he has a narrow trachea, not esophogus. He's much, much better now so I suspect he had a lung infection. The vet called yesterday to check on him and said his blood work is clear. His sleep breathing is back to the normal "rumble, snorts, and happy wheezes."

to the vet clinic over across from Olive garden on the back side of the mall. They seam to be very good with the breed.

Glad he is doing better, now just getting him to stop eating rocks. You might try spraying some bitter apple on them.

We're in Eastern WA, the Tri Cities which is about two hours from Pullman. His rattling chest is much improved over yesterday... I assume the antibiotics kicked in. Thanks for your concerns!

except that I thought the vet may have wanted to deal with the rattling chest before he put the dog under anesthesia...but I would not only want the rocks out...I would change the landscaping of my yard. Surely that has to be cheaper than repeated stomach surgeries?!!

Thanks Jessica. Angus stayed at the vet hospital all day and had X-rays and blood work. The x-rays showed his lungs were clear, but two rocks in his stomach. Angus likes to eat lava rocks, and he normally vomits them up. I have a jar labeled, "Angus Vet Savings" with about 20 rocks. It also showed he has a very narrow esophagus. Blood work comes back tomorrow. Vet gave him antibiotics as the rattly chest persisted. She said if he doesn't improve, we'll have to take him to WSU Vet Hosptial for lung scoping. His appetite is back, and he seems normal, other than the wet wheezing and occasional slobber hanging from his mouth. We'll see how his night goes.
