Our first Yorkie did the whole coughing & gagging routine but we couldn't find anything in his throat. We held him down on his back and my husband opened his mouth and looked in with a flashlight...turns out when he was licking his chops he ended up with his facial hair in his mouth, down the side of his gums along his teeth and into the side of his throat and it was making him hack and cough...he couldn't swallow it or get it out and it was really hard to see. After that we trimmed the hair on his muzzle so it didn't happen again. Riley also did this in Florida. He chewed on an oak leaf that was like leather and got a piece of it stuck in his throat. We couldn't reach it so he coughed and hacked until it worked it's way out or finally went down with some of his food. I hope it turns out to be something simple with Me-Me.
