yorkie dry heaving? In the middle of the night Gizmo started dry heaving but nothing came up. Then he layed back down and went to bed.. This has happened once or twice before. The whole episode is less than a minute. Any ideas? I plan on talking to my vet tomorrow just thought i would ask you all in the mean time :) BTW- Gizmo is eating, drinking and going to the restroom all normal! |
Gizmo likes to sleep completely under the covers at night... wondering if he overheats and dry heaves??? |
Just a thought, but maybe giving a small snack before bedtime would help. I know I've seen similar posts in the past about others having the same problem. |
Sophie Kate does that also, my Vet said it is actually a reverse sneeze and is common with Yorkies. It scared me the first time I heard it since she has a collapsed trachea also and I thought she was having a problem. Here is the Wikipedia description of a reverse sneeze Reverse sneezing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I would suggest you Google reverse sneeze, there are some videos that show dogs actually reverse sneezing. Good luck. |
Lola did this for a few mins yesterday evening after I let her out side. She kept doing it and nothing was coming up. She drank water and we settled on the couch and she cut it out. |

I agree that's most likely what it is. My new Yorkie puppy has done it a few times but my 12 yr. old Beagle does it frequently and always has. It is also termed as "inverted sneeze". It's totally harmless and I've found that for my beage, if I hold her around her chest gently and kind of pick her front end up so she's kind of standing on only her back legs it stops faster (idk if there's any reason for this to work, but it does for her and the vet I work for told me it's fine to do if it helps). I'd look at the videos of dog's doing it to see if it's the same thing your dog is doing before you worry about seeing the vet over it. I work as a vet tech and we had a client who brought her dog in describing it and the vet told her it was inverted sneezing, but she was nervous and requested that we make sure. So a few hundred dollars worth of bloodwork and xrays reveiled that the dog was perfectly healthy. |
My dog has done this and reverse sneezing when he had been given chewies on a daily basis. Once I began to limit his chewies he stopped. Am now in the process of trying him on some other type of chewis so he can chew without maybe irritating his pharynx or throat or something. Also, he can act like he is going to vomit when he is too full. He has yet to actually vomit but he does dry heave and/or spit up when he is too full. |
