Yogurt causes congestion?

[ChiliMom]

A few weeks ago I read here that if you fed your little one yogurt it would help with the gas issues. Chili has absolutely horrific gas problems. Well, I've noticed that he is really congested, he is snorting all the time. Is the yogurt causing this? I have decided not to give him any today. I was only puttling one or two tablespoons in his food. I wouldn't think...? Let me know your thoughts. SHould I take him to the vet?

Thanks!

I haven't ever heard of yoghurt causing that sort of problem before... in excessive doses or in dogs that are lactose intolerant, I've seen it cause diarrhoea though.

How congested is congested? Still pooping after exercise, or is he having too much trouble to be able to poop at all?

I've never heard of that either. I've been giving Oskar a tbl. in his food since he was a pup with out any problems. Hoe you find out what is the cause.

I doubt very much that the yogurt is causing the congestion. Your pup could be coming down with Kennel Cough. :(
