I'm concerned about my little funnel-chested boy as he is sneezing quite a bit. He's up to date on all his jabs, and there's no eye or nose discharge. But I can see that at times he is labouring with his breath after vigorous exercise (due to his constricted chest). I'm wondering whether this problem could create immunity issues, or make allergies more likely? It's a structural abnormality but if it impacts on his heart and lungs it could easily create systemic issues. I've researched it and found respiratory problems are an issue (as well as cardiac obviously) but sneezing doesn't directly fit.
He is growing so big (he's 18 weeks old now) but is very long and thin and I really am concerned that his heart may not be able to work properly. Actually I'm really worried about losing him.
I'm not sure anyone can even help, but if anyone has advice I'd love to hear from you.
