sparkles also went thru clavamox 10 day cycle, but this apparently did not knock out her cough which worsened over the past week or so. with these little guys/gals, if there is a cough it is best to get it checked out.

went to the vet and he said: 1) rarely do young yorkies have a trachea problem, he explained the structure of their trach's etc. which are fairly well built, as far as breeds go.

2) however, there are a lot of bugs going around right now and that's usually where these coughs come from (just like with kids).

he prescribed 10 day cycle on the antibiotic Albon 5%, 1ml per day. Plus if the coughing is persistent, your vet may recommend hycodan, which suppresses the urge to cough and reduces irritation on the windpipe.
