| Wierd Cough Hi Everyone I am new at this. So bare with me. My 4month 2.2 pound Yorkie has this wierd internal cough. Its happens at night and when he takes naps. It almost sounds like Post nasal Drip. I feel bad for the little guy. My doctor says its from teething. His lungs are fine. But I am a little bit worried about this situation. Mr. Buttons(My puppy) doesn't seem bothered, but it interrups his sleep. Can Anyone Help with ADIVCE??Please..Thanks you!!! Barbara |

| I've never heard of a dog coughing from teething, but then again I am also not a vet. If you're really worried, you can always go to another vet for a second opinion. I had one vet tell me my Lilli had a collapsing trachae when she was a baby and had been coughing for months after nothing for kennel cough working. Let's just say I went to THREE vets before we figured out that it was in fact kennel cough and she just needed a more aggressive steroid to clear it up. She's been fine for 2 years now. My suggestion would be to get another opinion. The peace of mind is well worth it.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | What you described sounds like reverse sneezing. Many yorkies do it. Place two fingers over his nostrils, that forces them to breathe through their mouths and usually stops it.
