It's hard when we see an animal we know needs more care or attention than it's getting; we want so much to help. You tried to do exactly that, and I'll bet this lady takes what you said to heart and brings her four-footed friend to the vet ASAP.

Wouldn't it be cool if a couple of weeks from now you two met at the Petsmart again and she huggs you for giving her the info she needed to make her Yorkies' life a healthy, happy one?

I am also sorry but I felt i was being attacked for a moment maybe I was wrong. I was trying to help. More than judging people i like to judge the overall state of their companions and if something i find isn't right I offer anything i can to help. Sorry again.

yes i would agree, Tigger had been making weird sounds about once a day for the past week or so, and I was worried so I took him to the vet today, and he said that he was healthy and his trachea was solid and that what it could be is his soft palat growing and something that starts with an E is causing it to make this sound. Basically it's just an inward sneeze and all you need to do to stop it is close his mouth if it is open at the time and if that doesn't help blow a short breeze into his nose. He said it should stop at six months of age, but if I hear it getting worse or after six months it continues on, to bring him in. The doctor explained everything to me in detail and was really nice. I guess it's a common occurence with growing puppies. It sounded like a rough inhale, and sort sometimes sort of raspy, and drawn out. but his lungs are clear, trachea is solid, eyes and ears clear, anal glands empty, and overall looking good. so we'll see what happens. I hope this lady gets some common sense and takes her poor baby to the vet asap.

I wouldn't worry about her giving her dog regular doses of amoxicilin. I doubt she has a supply just lying around, and no doctor would give her an Rx for a dog. She will need to see a vet.
