My 8 week old puppy has a suspected soft palate but has seen a vet and they did not give much advice as she is still choking a lot , is there anything I can do to ease it ? It is very upsetting to watch

Hi. Sorry to hear this. If it was confirmed it is an enlarged palate, then the best treatment is surgical. This most likely need to wait a bit. I'd make a surgical consult with specialist to discuss surgery and what can be done until then. Good luck.
