PNEUMONIA....THE ANTIBIOTICS AVOID PNEUMONIA, BUT IT DOES NOT HELP WITH THE COUGH...YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND LET IT RUN ITS COURSE... I BOUGHT MY YORKIE IN SEPTEMBER AND THE SAME DAY I BROUGHT HIM HOME HE HAD IT...IT WAS TERRIBLE AT FIRST, BUT WITH ANTIBIOTICS ITS BEEN WAY WAY LESS.....AT FIRST IT WAS 6 TIMES EVERY 24 HOURS,,,,NOW ITS LIKE 1 PER DAY......HE HAS HAD IT FOR 4 MONTHS NOW...IT CAN TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO GO AWAY.

One time I wasn't watching him with his bully stick and it got stuck to the roof of his mouth and he made the exact same sound as now, so I keep thinking he is choking but he doesn't have anything in his mouth.

He is utd on his shots and he hasn't interacted with any other dogs beyond my other pup who is healthy and he hasn't seen a groomer either.

I would much rather avoid the vet bill unless it is needed, but I can't seem to find anything that it could be.

He doesn't do it all the time either. He did it probably 4 times this morning before 9 and I haven't heard anything since. Yesterday he did it 3 times in the afternoon and nothing until this morning.

Sorry maybe too much information, but trying to think of everything that I could to tell you guys.
