My girls even come to me now so that I can try it..! It could be worth a try? Another thing I do is blow very gently up their nostrils!! Distraction also works at times. Hope this helps, Ana xx
I'm sorry to hear that about your baby - if I WERE to answer - I would say exactly what Gypsy Rose says...Hopefully it's very mild and there are lots of yorkies that are just fine with this diagnosis but she is young to already have this. Just always use a harness and try the tricks in the above post - it works GREAT - Chanel & Cheri both have reverse sneezing and I can usually stop it right away gently pinching their little nostrils.
