hi all, i just recently got my girl puppy, a 4 month old yorkie named pancake. She makes me so happy, but i have a concern about her health that a trip to the vet really hasn't cleared up to my satisfaction.
Below is the link to a video i took of her. She goes through episodes like this multiple times a day, maybe up to 10 or more. Oftentimes, it is followed by a quick sneeze/cough (i can't really tell which it is). I was convinced it was kennel cough, but i took her to the vet and they checked out her lungs and concluded that they didn't think it was a respiratory infection. They gave me an antibiotic anyway, which she has been on for three days now.
The vet said it may be allergies, and that she may be allergic to the two rabbits i also have living in my apartment. The episodes do seem to occur most frequently indoors compared to outdoors, but she has only really been indoors in my apartment, so it is hard to tell if it really is the rabbits.
Other than the episodes, she seems to be in great health. She has a ravenous appetite and plenty of energy, although she does her fair share of napping. I don't think that's out of the ordinary for a puppy, though. Her bowels are just fine.
Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. I have raised plenty of puppies in the past and have had dogs all my life, but this is my first yorkie experience. I am so worried about her and don't know what else to do.
Thanks.
