| Tila Well, I posted the other day about Tila. She was having this like coughing/sneezy thing happening. When she woke up this morning she was coughing a little. Nothing extreme. To be safe we took her to the vet today to get checked and she checked out fine. No kennel cough. Temp was good, teeth good, lungs, heart good. All checked out. The vet did say it might be something with her trachea, but she is still young and it may be fine. We have to keep an eye on her and if it gets worse, or she continues to cough to take her back and she'll have to go to a specialist. So I'm hoping it'll pass and she'll be all right. |

| Seems like weak tracheas are fairly common in Yorkies. We have a 5 year old male with this condition but you only notice it occasionally when he's excited or has been playing hard, and then he may cough just a bit, like clearing his throat. I believe in most cases it isn't that severe and doesn't need medical intervention. I hope if that's Tila's problem that it's not serious. Make sure to use a harness and not a collar if you go for walks so no added pressure is on the throat. |

| Thanks, I will be sure to do that. She has two harnesses so we'll use those. It is like that with Tila as well. It's like in the morning after she gets up and starts to really move around she coughs a little and when she plays with Odie. So we'll just cross our fingers and hope that it's not serious. |
