making weird noise

[stephluvsangel6]

hi i was wondering if any of your guys yorkies make a chocking up a haiball noise? i have taken himto the vet and he said it was due to his small mouth and nose and that as long as it lasts a few seconds he was fine, but he makes an uhhh uhhh uhh noise when he drinks water only, he like sounds like he is chocking or something , but then he is overit in about 3 seconds i just wondered if yours did this or do i go back and persist to have him rechecked?thanks you guys are awesome,

if it sounds like a goose honk it could be a collapsed trachea.

Mine makes that noise sometimes. it sounds like a hairball. i've heard that's normal though.

If he's doing what they call "reverse sneezing" -- it sounds like they're having a honking asthmatic attack -- but it lasts for a short time, and then they're over it ----and it doesn't hurt them a bit.

This is especially common with smaller breeds. Mine all do it. They especially do it if they get excited. But like I said - it doesn't last long - and it's harmless.

Making noises is not normal . Its a sign of respiratory problems .

I'd get him rechecked, or even get a second vet to look at him. He could be suffering with a respiratory infection that could get worse if not treated. Luna had one when we got her, I thought she might have collapsing trachea, but it was just an infection that went away with antibiotics (Clavamox)

Good luck and keep us posted on your little one

Hi,

I agree its always better safe than sorry. Kikko was making horrible coughing noises and he ended up having a collapsed trachea. I have put a video of what he sounded like that night, so that you can hear how one case sounds like. But there are always varying degrees of severity. Mine is pretty bad b/c he had pneumonia and born with a small trachea already. I hope it helps.

I really hope its nothing but if not, you can find lots and lots of info by doing a search for 'collapse trachea'. everyone here are very willing to help with any info.
