Hello everyone!!
My baby Gizmo just graduated puppy school at Petco and I have been doing some researching about genetic issue with these small dogs. One that concerns me is a collasped trachea. The trainner at Petco wanted us to use a collar on Gizmo while at class but i refused and used a harness instead. I dont want any extra pressure on his neck than needed. She asked me a few times to use a collar with the leash but i said no.... Was i right to do that? I feel bad making a scene but i'm not going to do anything im not comfortable doing.
Can a yorkie get a collasped trachea at any point during their life? Can we prevent it? I worry about Gizmo's trachea when we go for walks. Most of the time he walks by my side but at times when theres a dog ahead of us he tries to pull. So i try and redirect his attention till the dog passes.
I know that i am a paranoid mommy but i am going into the medical field so i just like to be informed
My husband says i research too much!
