Such symptoms could be a sign of underlying issues including gastrointestinal discomfort, a potential airway obstruction, or even an infection. Puppies are quite sensitive, and minor issues can quickly become serious if not addressed promptly. It’s crucial to evaluate the situation carefully and consider professional advice.
If you're worried about your puppy's behavior, we recommend booking a consultation with a vet to ensure your puppy receives appropriate care.
