Breathing and snorting boston terrier;

Question
This is my second boston i grew up around them as well but this baby is my second one as an adult. I'm aware that they snort and snore and what not, but she does it when she's away, far more often than my other one did. She sounds like a coffee percolator. The vets >2 of them< both said shes fine, but after playing rough she gets real bad and has to sort of clea her throat. They do tend to have an easier time as they get a bit older dont they? Because their sinus cavities grow with them? >please say they do<

Answer
Hi Heather, I wonder if she has allergies?  ( could be environmental??)
Glad to hear she doesn't have any obstructions in her airway!!  That sure is good news...
Would you like some supplements to help her breathing and cough?
Let me know..
Also, what are you feeding this kid?

thanks
