Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | 9 years old | 16 lbs
Dog had small tumor removed under chin/ upper neck area. Vet bandaged her neck. We took her back the next day because it sounded like she had breathing problems. Vet didn't seem concerned and added more padding behind new wrap to help with constriction. She also said dog is snoring in the same way humans do. My dog is constantly making these noises when she is laying down.It sounds like it's labored breathing. Is it normal for bandage to push and cause the noises but not restrict breathing?
