| Coughing I have a 10 month old yorkie who has a cough, I took her to the vet and after being examined the vet determined she was in good health but explained that she may have what's called collapsed tracea her cough is still here one week later can someone give me advice on what to do, Maggie is our first pet and we love her dearly and want the best treatment for her but we don't want to seem over anxious owners either. |

| Is the vet sure its not kennel cough? Does she cough all the time of like just after exercise or when she is stressed?

| Do you use a harness for her when she's leashed for walks? If her trachea is indeed collapsed, I would definitely use a harness that puts no pressure on her neck. I recommend a Buddy Belt. It's pricey, but the best and safest harness, in my opinion. |

| I would get a 2nd opinion it sounds like kennel cough and if it is you need antibiotics for your pup
