Today i finally was able to bring beaker into the vet to see what all this coughing was about... the coughing that continued after his kennel cough was gone.... i was really thinking that is was a collasped treache with all the coughing he was doing... its really bad at night..... and he has spells every day..... he had xrays done, and what a reliefe that is what not.... the vet said that he had some bronchitis and gave me a prescription and also told to go and buy childerens robatonson DM (sp) and to make sure it was DM...... this would help the cough at night.... although i would rather nothing be wrong at all this is better then somthing worse....... i hope this prescription helps and beaker is able to get rid of this cough that keeps me. hubby and him up most of the night....

oh also i had mentioned to the vet on how beaker has been getting really dry parts on his skin... and then is flakes... it feels and look very yucky.... she gave me a sample of a medicated shampoo to try..... and if it works then i can get more and pay much more then wanting to......... does any one other have a yorkie that has sensitive skin and knows what i can use to help beakers skin.... the vet told me i shouldnt was him more the every 3 to 4 weeks..... i thought giving him a bath about every 10 days was ok.... does any one have any input on that....i do bring him to get groomed every 4 weeks but do like to keep him clean in between cause i find his hair on his head to get kinda greasy a couple of days after being cleaned..... is this normal.....????

oh yes and one more thing... i kept thinking beaker was still under 2 lbs.... but hes right at 2 lbs now... that is great... was hoping he would gain some more weight, seince when i got him he was so tiny and sickly looking... and now look wonderfull.... what a difference weight can make....
