DH told me that her belly felt like it had a lot of gas so I gave her a natural medicine for gastrointestinal problems just in case that was what it was bothering her. She only throw up once and now she seems fine. She is eating and drinking water and playing like nothing happened.
Does this ever happened to anyone else? i want to know why she was gagging and gasping for air.
Once again I read a plea for help with an animal in trouble.
In my mind I see a person sitting at a computer typing the above whilst the Yorkie is laying on the floor gagging for air.

This person then sits back drinking coffee whilst waiting for somebody on YT to answer the plea for help. This could be today, tomorrow, next week or perhaps never but whilst waiting the Yorkie continues to gasp.

Suddenly an answer arrive which says something along the lines of....

"I have no clue as to what the problem is but don't worry it will pass"!

Another message arrives asking a question but no suggestion as the the problem and so it goes on.

I just can not get my head around this as I have FOUR little babies of my own and I can tell you this..........

If any of them show any signs of anything I am not happy about then off to the vet regardless of cost.

One of my little one started gagging at 1am this lasted a few minutes so I did an emergency call out which cost me a small fortune.
The vet examined her and said there is no problem but confirmed I had done the right thing as it could have been just about anything but suspected it was a problem with her Trachea and suggested I read the following :

Collapsed Trachea|Small Dog Throats

Now I ask any reader not to judge me on this post I am in no way chastising the OP all I am saying is I can not understand why people post a plea for help like this instead of calling the professional right away.
After all, your pet totally relies on you for everything.
