| Worried :( anyone up? Mya for the past few weeks has been doing this thing that I can't determine a pattern for to figure out if something causes her to do it. She will cough (sometimes a double cough) then gag. She doesn't ever throw anything up, it's just one gag, and it happens sporadically, maybe like 6 times a day TOTAL. Does she have a collapsed trachea OR this might coincide with her bordatella vaccine (the kennel cough one i think that's what it's called) that she got a few weeks ago.) Is it possible that this is because of that??? Please offer any knowledge if you have experienced this or just happen to know, sigh

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I'm wondering if if could be reverse sneezing, which is common in Yorkies. Does the coughing come when she's excited? Does it sound like a snort or a honk or gasping? If so, try searching this forum for "reverse sneezing" or googling the term and see if those descriptions ring a bell. If so, it's considered relatively harmless. Some people have said it could lead to problems, but for the most part it's nothing to be alarmed about. One of mine does it, and I've found that if I stick my finger in his mouth and make him swallow, it stops. Then again, there are side effects to bordatella vaccine. It seems like she'd be out of the woods for that if it's been a few weeks, but I don't know. Let us know if you get to the bottom of it.

| My little Mia did the same thing. How old is your dog? When she wanted attention she would do the reverse sneeze, and have an occasional gag. I took her to two different vets, spent a fortune!! She did it once in front of a vet and he called her a drama queen! I don't mind that I spent the money. I was worried sick and it was helpful to know that there was nothing wrong. We did every possible test, but I would not let them put a scope down her throat . |

| My puppy was doing that a while ago. She was tearing up her bed and i thought she was able to eat some of the thread that came out.
