My dog has been lip smacking along with swallowing/yawning constantly for the past 3 months. This started very abruptly 3 months ago so I took him to the vet and hospitals. He has had xrays, ultrasounds, CT Scan, endoscopy, blood work, etc. Everything has basically come back normal. We've tried a new hypoallergenic diet which hes been on for almost 2 months and no changes. We have also tried numerous medications (pepcid, prilosec, metronidazole, budesonide, amoxicillin, zyrtec, prednisone - you name it we've tried it.
This lip smacking is so excessive and I am at a loss of what to do now. I feel like I have done every test I can and have no answers. I can tell this isn't behavioral and that something is bothering him. It kills me to know that he's in discomfort and that this is going on 3 months now with no success. Has anyone experienced this before? He is 5 years old and has never had any issues his whole life until now. Like i said, this randomly started one day out of no where and hasn't stopped since. I am desperate for answers.
