| Yorkie with a cold? Bella has started to cough a little bit lately. Sometimes it seems closer to a sneeze. She also has a little weezing when she's asleep at times too. She doesn't 'seem' sick, I've just been noticing these things lately. I can't decide whether I need to take her to the vet or not. I know there's not much to do for a cold (which is what I think it is). My cousin's dog had a cough when they got him and the medicine gave him pnuemonia (he inhaled the medicine). Any suggestions on getting her better? or what i should do? |

| Coughing should be checked out by a vet. It could be kennel cough or a bacterial infection and will only get worse if not treated. |

| I called the vet today and they said that since they thought it was just a small case of kennel cough. I was told that they usually only treat it when it gets really bad, and her coughing hasn't gotten that bad. Stress would make sense though. I just went back to work and she has to be alone 3 days of the week. |
