Awe I was worried that it could be pneumonia too. We were able to get him in at the vet this morning. Just got off the phone with my BF and basically was told that he pretty much has the onset of the collapse trachea. At the moment, since it is so early, there really isn't too much they can do for him. They gave us cough suppresent medicine. I guess the vet told my bf that in more severe cases, they do surgery but his is very minor right now and is just something he is going to have especially since it is prevelant in yorkies and hereditary. Everything else with him was fine. His weight is perfect which helps with the collapse trachea and all his vitals and everything were good. There was no infection or anything of that sort.

I feel so bad for him I'm gonna grill my bf when I get home from work about exactly what the vet and breeder said to him just so I can get all the complete info.
