Does your Yorkie choke or become short of breath?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My yorkies make a weird noise (sometimes scary). It's a mix of choking with hard breathing. What is that? This has been going on since they were pups. Is that normal for yorkies? The vet never said anything but I had seeing that struggle to breath. Please help!!

Possible reverse sneezing. Go type "reverse sneezing" in the search up top. You'll see lots of talk about it.

Is it when ur dog eats something off the floor? my dog tends to do the same thing when he eats things off the floor.

Could be reverse sneezing, allergies or an infection. Check with your vet if it happens often.

If it is reverse sneezing it is harmless and both of my dogs do it when they get excited

Go to www.glassyorkies.homestead.com and choose Hypoglycemia on the left and then Collapsed Trachea.

This is a link that tells the symptoms of reverse sneezing and collapsed trachea.
