Default Coughing and Sneezing

Carib started to make a "honking" kind of sound - like he had a fur ball. From what I have read, Yorkies tend to "reverse sneeze". They stand erect with head jutted out, eyes open, and legs somewhat bowl-legged. If you rub their throat and make them swallow, the noise stops. If your Yorkie has any kind of raspy cough - take them to the vet immediately as this could be a sign of a collapsing trachea which this breed is prone to. Also, make sure to have them in a harness versus a regular dog collar!
