I'm not sure but there are times when their treach(throat) closes and they
can't catch air. This happens to Buddy sometimes and it's scary I know.
I think it's pretty common in Yorkies. They have very delicate necks
which is why harness's are suggested instead of a collar on the neck.
I would mention it to the vet if it only happens every so often.
If it begins to happen more often call your vet. I don't think it is
anything to really worry about. |
