| Should I be worried?? So whenever I come home from being out, or my b/f gets home, Coco does this snorting thing. She does it sometimes when she gets overly excited about something, so I have to calm her down by rubbing her belly, giving her kisses and hugging her. She seems to be doing it a lot more often through out the day, I've noticed recently. I am going to call and leave her vet a message but what do you guys think? I don't think it's a collapsed trachea, cause it's not like a honking sound, it's just like a snorting sound, plus she's normal otherwise. Should I be worried? Do your yorkies do this? Do yorkies get hairballs, could that be it?

| nobella, lexi used to do that so much, but now just alittle, mostly when my mom comes over, i think they get too excited and they do that, what you need to do or tell your b/f to do when coco does this, hold her nose closed so she has to breathe from her mouth and she will stop... it works...good luck i hope thats all it is

| Rocky used to do it all the time, so we took him to the vet just to make sure he's OK. He was fine, but the constant snorting can lead to a collapsed trachea. She gave him some antibiotics, and he doesn't do it anymore.

| Gracie does that oo. My vet said it's reverse sneezing and is very common in small dogs and nothing to worry about. You probably want to talk to your own vet to make sure but that's what it sounds like to me.

| Gus does this almost everytime he gets excited. I was so scared the first time he did it. I thought he was choking. I rushed him to the vet and they said it's very common in little dogs. I still was very worried because I have never seen or heard of this. It wasn't till I seen my husbands aunts chi do it. I still get a bit worried because it does sound as if he's choking but he's just fine after he calms down some.

| I am going thorugh the exact same thing right now and it is not fun. It worries me. I took my girl to the vet cause I thought she might have a URI since she had them in the past . They did blood work and X-ray and everything came back fine. They put her on the vet alternative to Benadryl and after administering it for seven days we really haven't improved. They told me it might be allergies but oviously the meds aren't working so it has to be something else. I am really worried because she is still cheery but she is doing it way to often. Specially the reverse sneezing. First she starts to like sneeze like discomfort and then comes the scary reverse sneezing that sounds like sh eis dying. I am do back this Friday for other test i really hope they find something and they also are going to try other meds. Just this past week I have spent $400 in vets bill in addition to the $6000 already spent throughout the time I have had her. Anything for her wellbeing but it sure has been a lot of money. When she has recovered i have said I will get insurance and then postpone it but after this i really am going to cause its too much money. Plus I always freak out and take her to the vet anytime I feel something is wrong as I don't like to take any chances. |

| It sounds like a reverse sneeze, but I would check it out if it sounds like she is struggling to breathe. Bruce does this and I totally panicked and it ended up being nothing...I am sure Coco is fine, you take excellent care of her!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | BOTH my girls do this especially after I've been out.....they seem to get over excited when I walk in the door and sometimes Chanel drinks too fast and it happens then too....I tap on their nostrils and it really stops it ....you need to get them to take a breath thru their mouth when they do this... |
