I was hoping someone has had similar experiences and could help out with some more obscure questions.

1) What do you do when your Yorkie gets uncontrollably scared? My yorkie has a real problem with thunder. Any time there is thunder, he starts shivering very badly, his heart rate elevates, he pants, and cannot sit still. Absolutely nothing will work. The most tasty treat or human food doesn't snap him out of it. This state of fear can last for 15 minutes after the last bolt. He is 3 years old.

2) How often does your yorkie reverse sneeze? How often is too much? Mine seems to have a pretty bad fit (1 continuous minute) every day or two. Furthermore, what is the absolute best method for counter-acting this reverse sneeze? I have tried blowing gently in towards his nose, distracting him, and covering his nose, but none really seem to help.

Thanks!
