Hi all....

Been a while since I have been on the list. But my Pucci's symptom's bring me here.

I am not sure what is wrong with him and need the opinion of my fellow Yorkie owners.

I have had full blood work done on him (and my GiGi) for the past 2 years. Pucci has a persistent cough. This has been brought to the Vets attention over the past 2 years and the Vet even did a full body xray to further check him out. It is now time for his annual and he will get his full panel of blood work but the blood work never shows any signs of kennel cough or other infection. He has the past 2 weeks had some soft stool with his normal stool but not a sign of anything serious. That seems to have also cleared for the most part.

His cough has been a little more persistent for the past 2 weeks....did not seem as bad before the past 2 weeks. Just sometimes on and off and I would give him some Beneryl cause it could have been an allergy.

During the winter the Vet gave him some antibiotic which seemed to help and the cough was not so bad after that just seemed like some dry throat. If his cough was unusually bad I would have taken him to the Vet again so I would have to say it was not very noticeable.

But it does worry me that this cough flairs up on occasion. He is fine now...he is always ok when I take him out for his walks...never a problem the ...only in doors. I gave him some honey with lemon around 4PM before we went out. And when we got home I gave him 1/4 of a baby aspirin in case he has a slight cold or fever....he is eating fine and still wants goodies.

Has this happened to anyone else's Yorkie. Any info appreciated. This must stop and the Vet is not finding anything with all the blood work.

Sorry for the long post...thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help.
