Will she be allright? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My brother came over to visit, and Suzi was so excited she went to jump on the couch, and crashed into my arm right where her throat/neck is .... hard. Then she moved over and jumped on the couch... A couple minutes later she started making a chomke like coughing sound, then recovered fine...
I am concerned that she hurt herself, however, Suzi seems ok now. I gave her a little treat, she ate ok, and is walking/acting ok.
Do I need to wait until anther day to make sure she was not physically hurt? Or would it have already shown up? i just want to be sure she is fine!

sounds to be like she got excited, yes this is normal, when yorkies get excited they will make a hacking sound. My boy does it to when he runs around to much or he will start sneezing. This is called a reverse sneeze, you can look this up online.

If it happened and didn't stop then you would need to worry, Yorkies can get a collapsed trachea but I don't believe this is your baby's issue.

Like Moses said, sounds like she was just reverse sneezing. My little one does this if she pulls too hard on the leash when I'm out with her to go potty. She also sometimes does it if she gets way too excited. It usually stops after a few seconds. I've heard sometimes it can help if you gently massage their throat while it's happening. For me, it usually helps.
