| Allergies or Sore Throat?? My one year old yorkie is acting like he has a sore throat and stretching his throat when he swallows like something is stuck, (nothing is). Then he breaks out into what I call a asthma fit, like he choking. I rub his throat and he calms down. This all started yesterday afternoon. He keeps swallowing. Does this sound like allergies or a sore throat? He kept doing it during the night off and on. He's eating and drinking ok. He's being very clinging too. Just wondering if there's something to give him for a sore throat to coat it?? |

| I would call the vet immediately. You can't see all the way down into the throat. Better safe than sorry. Being clingy is a sign of not feeling good. Please call the vet. |

| He needs to be seen by a vet. He may have something stuck way down his throat or he may have a collapsed trachea as 4doggiemamma suggested. Do you use a collar on him? They can damage the trachea. Collapsed Trachea in Dogs |

| Allergies or Sore Throat? Thank you everyone for all your wonderful and caring suggestions. Very heartwarming to hear. I'm a new yorkie owner. "Cragar" is better today??? Strange. I thought it was a sore throat. Could have possibly been food stuck?? I don't know. I NEVER put a collar around his throat. I do know that rule !!! I will watch him carefully if this get's worse and "vet' him a.s.a.p. SO far so good. Thanks again. Love your photos. I have to fiquire out how to insert one.??? Cragars Mommy |
