| Two new puppies on the block Hello, my name is Lucy and i'm new here and new Yorkie owner. I purchased 2 yorkie, famale and male on January 25th 2009. It was a birthday present to my husband. I thought that we both will be enjoing our babies, but i have a problems. When i got home i noticed that female puppy was coughing and i thought its because she changed enviroment. After two weeks i took both puppies to a vet for a check up and he said that puppies are ok. But my female puppy was still coughing. I took her again to a vet and he gave her antibiotics, but cough still there. Then he did an x-ray and did not find anything. I even took her to another vet and he said that lungs are clear and gave another medication, but she still coughing. The cough comes from the throat, not from inside of lungs , she is kind of gag it and acting like she wants to throw up. We contacted the breeder and she send us all kinds of medication, but nothing is helping. I dont know what to do anymore. I dont trust that breeder anymore for a few reasons. After i received AKC papers, the names of puppes wrong, our breeder's name not there and birthdays of both puppies are wrong. Can you please tell me what to do, my heart is breaking when i hear the puppies cought and advise me how to check the records of mother and father and how to change the records at AKC. Thank you very much, Lucy |

BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GE GIFT! | cough Trevor choked on a piece of his dry kibble just yesterday....it scared the heck out of me....but after all that was done...he was coughing a bit, then this morning I thought I heard wheezing.....now this afternoon he seems fine. Luckylady (a member here on YT) said its probably because he scratched his throat.....IDK I'm sure not an expert |

| First off, welcome to YT. You'll be able to find a lot of great information here. I don't have any ideas, other then could it be a collapsed trachea? How experienced are the vets you've been seeing with small dogs. Small dogs do have some different health issues that the larger breeds don't. So if your vet isn't up on the small breeds you may need to keep searching for a vet that is. I'll bump this up so that it doesn't get buried and see if anyone else can help, there are a lot of YT'ers who have a lot of medical information. Also, there is a wonderful YT member, Ellie May, who has a an amazing amount of knowledge, you could PM her and ask for advice.
