This might sound like a stupid question, but is it caused by food? I just recently switched him to a different dry kibble. I went from Natural Balance Venison to Nature's Variety Lamb. |

Don't worry..my pug lived with this for a very long 14 yrs..He was overweight and lived in the worst climate(desert) for his breed..and still lived a long life with this condition..If it turns out to be collapsed trachea..it is treatable..it's just hard to see them doing it.. |
No, it is not caused by food. A lot of Yorkies are born with it. It is treatable, but not curable. Prince will have it for the rest of his life, (He's five). The only thing you can do is to give meds when necessary and control their environment. Collars can be a problem for Yorkies since some may be proned to this condition. (Prince has never worn a collar, only a harness).
