A few days later vet called to let us know he had Ghilardia (spelling?) and we had to give a medication for 3 weeks. 3 days on 5 days off and then repeat twice. PLUS we had to get cats on treatment just in case. He was covered under puppy plan which was good becuase medication expensive. Cats...expensive. Then after his second shots he got a lump, I guess normal but another visit. Have to love a patient vet who told me warm compress and massage. However, latley he has been gagging after excercise or water drinking. He goes to vet this Saturday for lyme shot and vet is going to check throat. Have to go go get him, put him out to potty...be right back. |
Oh Lord! Your poor baby has been through so much already! My babies will gag after drinking or eating too fast but never after excercise. There is some thing that Yorkies are prone to that has something to do with their throats but mine have been cleared for that.
TRACHEA COLLAPSE
There can be a weakness in the trachea and if it collapses the dog cannot breathe. Emergency surgery and inserting plastic devices or coils can be done in some cases to keep the dog alive. This can be caused by severe hacking from a cold or it can be a congenital thing.
Symptoms -- A loud honking, dry cough. Gasping, unable to breath.
But I don't think that it sounds like that
