Dog's neck swells when she breathes. | Ask A Vet
 

 


Dog ate chocolate?

Swelling on neck.

Species: Dog
Breed: dashund
Age: 2-5 years
I just noticed that when my dog barks the right side of her neck swells about 1-2 inches out. I never noticed this before and usually notice things like this. I was just curious if this is normal or not? Thanks for your help.

Dr. Marie replied:

I can't say that I have ever seen anything like this! I'm wondering if perhaps your dog has a small tear in her trachea (windpipe)? If this were the case, then when she is forcing air out, perhaps some is getting trapped under the skin.

It does sound like something that you should have your vet check out!
