I am sorry to hear that Maximus isn’t feeling well. With the abnormal eating and new snoring then I would be worried that he could be developing an abscess in the back of his throat. I have seen this many times after they chew on sticks or other objects. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. A sedated examination may be necessary to view the back of the throat. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
