The main problems are: he can't keep his food down, he's vomiting, "coughing", and he's making grunting noises. My girlfriend's dad suggested that it could be a blockage of some sort, but we weren't able to find a remedy online yet. Our neighbor said yorkie's esophaguses are known to collapse, so that's what they thought was happening.

Hopefully someone will have advice to offer.

Thanks!

if hes coughing and hes an older dog you should take him to the vet as it could be a heart problem.
