| Breathing Issues Does anyone have any ideas. My 4 month sounds like she is gasping for air sometimes. They are short attacks but still very scary. I asked my vet because I know yorkies and have issues with their tracheas but she checked her and says their is no problems. She says most likely it is a "backwards sneeze" however it doesnt sound like a sneeze to me.... Any info would be appreciated.

| Does it sound like she is choking or honking? If it is a reverse sneeze and you put your finger over her nose for a ccouple seconds while it its happening, it should stop.

| It doesnt sound like honking. It looks and sounds likes shes choking or just cant get any air. It only last for about 5 seconds and then she is fine. I am just a new yorkie mommy and worry about everything!!

| when do you notice them happening? does she drool a lot? does she sound like she can not get air from her nose or mouth? is the air in your home dry from a heater on?

| It seems to be mostly in the evening. Maybe 3x a week. No she doesnt drool other then if she gets car sick. I dont think the air is dry. We also have a air purifer in the house.
