My bf is the one that took him when he started with the coughing noise because I was at work that day..I thought is sounded liek reverse sneezing but I wanted to make sure...the vet said collapsed traches..no xray just by touching...so my bf who didn't know better came home with his meds and said the doc told him to give to Maximus for 10 days...so I took him to another vet for a 2nd opinion...this vet took an xray and said the trachea didn't look bad but this is a problem yorkies have..he thought it may just be kennel cough...(which is odd because how would he get that...but he had just been at the vet the day before getting his shots and there were like 4 dogs in the waiting room..so who knows)...but long story short we went back today and he said his trachea doesn't feel swollen and no cough..so I guess this is his way of saying false alarm..as far as the vet that said kennel cough..he said to come back in 10 days if the cough didn't clear...either way they both said that an endoscope would have to go down Maximus throat to get a complete look at his trachea and see if it is indeed collapsed which at this point he is tooo little for and I wouldn't want to put him through that unless completely necessary..I will keep u all posted
