I don't know how/why I forgot to post this.....When Higgins was a baby, he developed the cough and foamy spitup thing, but when we took him to our favorite vet in Florida, he SHOWED me his swollen tonsils! Did you know that they get "tonsillitis" just like kids do??? I didn't even know Yorkies HAD tonsils!
So, be aware of the more serious possibilities, but don't panic, and get 'em to the vet to know for sure. Higgins tonsils cleared right up with the antibiotics he was taking for coccidiosis at the time.
More recently, I gave Higgins an almond to chomp on since I was eating a handful and he was begging. SCAREd THE HECK OUT OF ME! He is ALLERGIC to almonds! Started to close up his airway! Maybe they all are. Pogo loves 'em and has never had a problem, but now I don't give Higgins OR Pogo any nuts at all. I should have known better. As Dr. Phil would say "What was I thinking??!!!" |
