[QUOTE=Annabel;4443292]Hello. Please help me find the correct answer.

On Tuesday the 27th around 11am my mom and I, along with our yorkies were out side washing some patio chairs with comet cleanser. my smallest yorkie 2.5lb was standing very close to the chair my mom did not see him and she dumped comet cleanser on his head/face (it didn’t help that there was some wind right on his direction. I quickly rinsed his face and head and removed all the cleanser. He seemed t be acting normal. Yesterday the 28th he started have a reverse sneeze, which he sometimes gets if he gets to excited or drinks water to fast. But this time it lasted super long. at least 10 min. I wasn’t with him before he got the revers sneeze so I thought he drank water and he inhaled it. After that he was his normal self. Playing, running, eating and drinking water. Close to 9pm we went on a walk and he was fine. After the walk when we got home he got another reverse sneeze. It was a quick one though. He then was his normal self again. but around 12midnight he was slowly turning in circles and gagging like he wanted to throw up[FONT=Times]. That lasted a couple of minutes. then he seemed fine and he went to sleep. This morning (29th) (my day off) I was sleeping in and I hear him gagging like he was vomiting but worse. I immediately jumped out of bed and found him turning and falling having a hard time to breath and he couldn’t get up he seemed like he couldn’t control his head. Like maybe he was having a seizer (?) it was a horrible moment. I picked him up and from his nose there was a yellow foam coming out and he couldn’t breath I forced his mouth open and he was able to catch his breath but foam was still coming from his nose and mouth and he was still gagging. This went on for what seemed to be hours. But it probably was a few long min. he seems ok after he was able to breath.

I certainly do pray that anyone reading this post and encountering this type of EMERGENT situation with their pup, will have the motivation to grab this baby up immediately, wrap him an a towel, and RUSH to a vet! I have been around animals all my life, and Yorkies for close to 40 years, and this event would scare the chittlins out of me.....this is NOT a "wait and see what happens next" situation....next time it happens, he may not recover.... Any vet that gets this explanation of an event and recommends that since he is "fine" now, just wait and see what happens, .....you need to find a new vet immediately!
