Gucci is making a wierd noise.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When he is chewing on a toy or his bullies he makes a wierd dry cough noise. Not alot, just one or two coughs. But it makes me so nervous. It's ONLY when he is busy chewing something. Does anyone know why?

Does it happen with everything he chews? Or if its just something that maybe goes down his throat? Yorkies can have trachea issues, but it doesn't happen when they just chew..hmmm..

It mostly happens with his bully sticks, but sometimes with his toys. I dunno!

My baby loves bully sticks to, but doesn't cough when chewing on them. It sounds like he might be sticking down his throat.

Which is causing him to cough!

Maybe, though I have never seen that.
I just worry about his trachea. You hear all these stories about how easily they can collapse, and I get nervous. I was using a collar and leash for about 2 months when I got him, not too much, but enough, so I worry that he may have gotten hurt.

I stopped using a collar, they are always pulling on them and then they start hacking. I don't even put a collar on my baby anymore. I only use a Harness when I walk him. So he usually only hacks when he gets over excited.
