All the best with the vet visit! Hopefully it is just an age related narrowing of the airways.

The change to grain-free pellets can come with weight loss as they contain less fattening filler products.

Thanks for the reply,probably age related as coco is four years of age !thanks for confirming that grainless pellets can cause weight loss!.we are going to Northampton to see a vet !
