Trachea issues?

[destinydeberry]

My baby yorkie is only 8 weeks old and about a pound. She does this weird coughing thing occasionally after she barks or growls a lot. I have a friend who has a yorkie and she has a collapsed trachea. I was wondering is this is something my baby could have or if she is still maybe learning to bark or something.

Hmm it maybe could be a Reverse Sneeze. You can You Tube reverse sneeze and see if that sounds like what your baby is doing. Peanut will reverse sneeze when he drinks too fast, gets excited, or sometimes just out of nowhere. I will rub his throat up and down and talk to him to calm him down.. it will work every time.

If you look it up and it doesn't sound anything like what your baby is doing.. I would try to record her doing it and maybe take her into the Vet to see what he says… Better safe than sorry!! Hopefully it is nothing.

Thank you so much! I looked up reverse sneezing and that sounds exactly like what Laydee does. I feel much better now.

Aww you are welcome, glad you feel better!! It is scary when they first do it.. Your mind starts going ( what could it be?) LOL

You can try to rub her throat and talk to her when she has a sneeze attack. When Pnut does it he is usually on the floor- his whole body will move! I will put my hand againt his bum to hold him, then my other hand will rub his throat.. Always seems to help!

Last night he had a sneeze attack at like 3 in the morning!
