Dear all,

My kibby is starting to have this weird hacking every morning.. like she trying to hock a loogi... it kinda worries me because sometimes she is heaving so hard that it reminds me of when my other dog died of bloat. She has had bad allergies this year, so bad- her eye was so red one morning, I thougt something must have poked her or she was going to go blind! went to the vet, claritin for 7 days and everything was normal again.

anyways, i am thinking that her morning "licking everything" , and congestion, is maybe due to allergies, and phlegm build-up. I haven't tried the lemon juice thing yet. I did try orange juice which made her throw up a good size blob of it phlegm.

should i just put her on claritan again? are there any more natural remedies for this? i read in an earlier post that advanced quercetin works, if so .. when do i give it kibby, morning when she is having issues, or night before she goes to sleep? she is 53 lbs, how many pills at a time? with food? with or without claritan too?

thanks for any help... :)

p.s. i do like the new format, much more modern and easy to do searches for past issues.. i enjoy the "show all" button.
