Overheating French advice

[Luna]

We've got a 1 1/2 year old French puppy. This is our first, but we have a good vet and have done a ton of research. Nothing really prepared us for her latest problem though. It has been humid and hot, so we limit her outdoor time while still getting in exercise. We used to take her to a local college to wall around during the fall and spring, but the last 2 times we've taken her, she's seemed to really overheat and vomit.

She's not well leashed trained in public, she pulls a lot and it causes her to pant really hard. She gets snotty--and throws up any water she's just had when she starts to over pant. We thought she was better on leash since around the blocks here she's fine, but in public she's a little spastic.

This vomiting is worrying us. We think it's the combo heat and pulling, but wonder if she has pallet or nares issues. We also miss being able to take her for walk's around town, she's just pulling way too much now. Any advice on how to help or puppy be active, but not a snot filled vomit machine, would be appreciated.

Temperatures are a big issue in most areas right now.... Cheli will last - no exaggeration- 10 mins in our yard just walking to potty - he tgen goes right to the door to get back in. He loves being out but he us very good at self regulation .

Lessen walk time/distance and bring treats with you--- when he pulls make him sit, every time-- it is brutal cause you will stop a million times, but he will eventually get it. I would also have the palate evaluated just to be sure it is not adding to the problem -- good luck

Hey. My frenchie has had pallet surgery to help with this. The vet said when she removed it his was 15mm to long. Mine pulls on the leash to but I don't use a collar anymore but a harness only and that helps a lot.

These were the signs we saw with Pierce right before he had palate and nares surgery. They get excited and start panting, which makes it harder for them to get air in. Pierce would also get a lot of mucous and saliva in his mouth which made it hard to breathe. Once we saw that, we knew he was going to throw up. His first walk after his surgery was so quiet. We were amazed at the difference.
