| Gagging? Help I don't know what is wrong Diddy was just laying here on my lap and got up and started to gag. I thought he was going to vomit but didn't. Now he keeps gagging. Do you think something is stuck in his throat? I tried to get him to take a sip of water and he won't. He is having trouble barking too. I don't know what to do. He is breathing fine. Any Suggestions???

| He did lick on an ice cube and he can bark now. He is walking around fine and just took a poo. He just keeps doing this thing now and then like he is trying to clear his throat. Sort of like a cat when it has a hairball. All the vets here are closed now.

| It sounds like he's got something stuck in his throat. Isn't there an emergency number for your vet that you can call if you need to?

| I had one of mine doing a gagging thing and I looked in the very corner of his mouth and there was a few strands of hair about 4-5 inches long going down his throat!...it's worth checking if he has long hair on his face....

| I just called the emergency vet. They said to bring him in if I feel i need to. He isn't doing it as often. He is running around like normal. I don't know if I should take him in or not. I am going to wait a few more minutes and if he does not stop I am taking him in.

| TJ does this. Is it like his throat is pulsing? I am not sure what happens, but after a little while TJ is fine. I rub his throat and talk him out of what ever he is doing. It might be related to reverse sneeze thingy |

| When in ? I would always have the vet check. Its easier to do that than let something go by and get a head start of dragging your little one down. Hope he is okay. Give us an update.

Yorkie Yakker | nuetering I am going to have Topaz neutered in a little while and I don't know anything about it. Is it painful, and how long before he will be normal again? Also does it take a long time to do the surgery? Any information will be helpful. |

The surgery doesn't take that long but they will want you to drop him off early in the morning and a lot of places keep them overnight. Consider getting blood work done (I do but not everyone feels it is necessary) and make sure the vet uses either Isoflurane or Sevoflurane to put them under.
