I wonder if anyone on the board has had a Cavalier that has been debarked. My Annie ( blk/t) is 7 y.o. and was debarked sometime in her life before she was owned by the breeder. The cardiologist warned that she is prime candidate for aspiration and she does have problems that concern me re: swallowing. When we were kids and another would start choking we'd say "must 've gone down the wrong hatch" and I believe this happens fairly often with Annie. She has a brakefast bowl to slow her eating and I'm careful with treats but there are still episodes. I feel so sorry for her coping with this mess. I can't find longterm studies on the "net but maybe I just have to keep changing the search words.
