You did very well stinkygummybear .... at least now, having a proper vet check your puppy you will know whether or not you have anything to be worried about.

I do hope, as well, that your puppy is not suffering from a collapsed trachea.

Do you walk him with a collar and leash or a harness and leash?

With these very small breeds you are really better to use a harness on them. They will sometimes pull hard and if they are wearing a collar only, this can cause throat problems for them - wearing a harness allows them to be restrained around their whole body and not just the neck and then, when they pull, the pressure is on the whole body not just their neck.

Let us know what the vet says ....... good luck with your puppy
