She hasn't been doing this as much since I loosened her collar (I just use it for ID tags). It did have 2 fingers worth of space between the collar and her neck but I loosened it to the next hole.

Anyway, she doesn't do it constantly and there isn't actually any triggers specifically. Sometimes she just sort of does it, sometimes it's from drinking or from eating.

I don't think it's kennel cough, I did a bit of research on this. She doesn't seem sick or lethargic, and it's not actual coughing.

It's like she has something stuck in her throat and she just coughs to get it out. But not the kind of choking where your airways are almost completely shut. Am I making sense?

I researched a bit on trachael problems as I know yorkies are quite prone. I don't want someone to tell me I need to take her to the vet, because that's quite obvious and we are waiting for our appointment.

But what I'd like to know is, does this necessarily mean she is going to have trachael problems if they do the choking type thing? She doesn't do it constantly, just once or twice a day. Is it possible that she is just a pig and doesn't chew her food or swallow her water properly?
