Whats wrong with My Kerry Blue.....?
It could be a problem with the soft pallet which is quiet common . It is most common in short nose breeds but other breeds can have it too. My toy poodle has it. The soft pallet is a flap of tissue that stops food and liquid accidently going down the air page. In some dogs it flops in to the air pipe and blocks there airway which causes them to have problems breathing it can sound like they are snorting. It is nothing to worry about and will often pop out itself but sometimes the dog will sort of p out and when it falls to the ground this causes it to pop out and the dog is fine. You can if you know waht you are doing sort of joult the dog under the chest which can make it pop out. A vet can show you how to do this.
