The top one is Mercola .. again a site I don't put much faith in. I don't believe every single thing I read on the internet.
Bottom line: Coughing is indicative of MANY conditions and I seriously doubt that CT is at the top of the list. Yes, it is a concern in yorkies, but again, until other things are ruled out, it should not be such a concern. There is a classic cough found in CT but that is also not in all cases.
I don't speak from googling this topic. I speak as a person who has had quite a few CT pups over the years. I don't think CT every time a pup in my care coughs. |
I understand that not every website on the internet is accurate or reputable, that's the nature of the internet. I'm just saying that people like Mindy and me and others who may have a yorkie that is coughing and was to google it, that is the first thing we see so of course we would be concerned. The internet cannot make a diagnosis, but we can take that information to the vet to help rule things out. I know I tend to think the worse about things, but without further tests there is only speculation.
