They also have a 3 year old yorkie who happens to get this when he's on his walk - it can be reduced by using a harness. He just gets excited and his throat becomes constricted and continues to hack...does anyone else experience this or am I the only one that is crazy for thinking this?
Hope i could help - MAG |
Izzy is almost 8 mos. and has always done this - especially when she is excited. I talked to the vet and he said she was healthy and nothing to worry about - oh - and she is very tiny - not even 2.5#.
