Hello My rotti is almost 6. When she sleeps she “Snores” like crazy and sounds like she is all clogged up. She always sleeps on her back also. Is it normal for rotti’s to snore like that or does she have something wrong with her sinuses.
I just wanted a little insight before I go and sopnd more money at the vet if I don’t have to. I usually run her there if she has a runny nose (figure of speech) but it gets expensive if the problem is not serious as we all know.
Hi Chris
Rottweilers can snore pretty loudly, and as long as she seems happy and healthy in every other way it’s not something I would worry too much about.
If she has any discharge from her nose, ears etc., or seems sick in any way then it’s possible she has an upper respiratory tract infection that is causing some congestion. Also, occasionally snoring can be a sign of more serious issues, but unless she seems sick in any way (lethargic, not eating etc. etc.) then I doubt you need to be concerned about this.
Best of luck with your dog.
