She has allowed me to look and no soreness visible what is happening is she eats, then gags to a point of wrenching like the food is stuck, then her eyes are bloodshot with the gagging then she sometimes will go back and eat or it just puts her off and I have to wait till later then she will eat the rest. As she has had this since being a pup periodically I feel they ''must' look into it more now as I have concerns as she is getting older, plus she has a couple of bald patches showing, and her coat this year seems thin

Thanks Lynn, Skye being so quiet anyway she could easily be overlooked by people (those that tell me that 'she is just a quiet dog), but Im not happy with in general...there's quiet and then there's quiet if you get my meaning

All the best with her, let's hope it's something and nothing.
Hope so...I'd rather be proved as as fussy owner, then to leave things that don't feel right to me

I know you said about her lumpy throat, but it's not a
thyroid problem is it? That might explain her lethargy and bald patches?

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I hope it's nothing more than a minor infection xx
Thank you hun.....I will take her tomorrow morning and get them to do some tests, at least my mind will be put at rest.

As others have said, no-one knows your dog like you do, and if you think Skye is "off", then she is "off".
Hope you can get to the bottom of hon, sending loads of positive vibes....
