I just got my 9 week old Yorkie, and she has a URI.......I have taken her to the Vet twice. She is on antibiotics, and the Vet is having a special cough medicine compounded for her since she is only 2.7 pounds. My question is: she seems to be fine during the day........plays well, eats great, naps, and seems very alert.............but at night, she coughs all night long, I am so afraid she is gagging or having difficulty breathing. No fever either. Why is the night so horrible , and the morning comes and she seems fine? Help! need advice. Not the way I wanted to start my new puppy out at home.
