i know wonder if she didn't suffer form a case of this as well.. every time she got excited for walks, other dogs, or people in general she would almost go into rages of what sounded like "hyperventilating or gasping 4 air".:eek:
I brushed this off as built up scar tissue, since the DR explained that's what would happen as a result of saving her life????
Hummm.....not that it matters now b/c she is over the RB and enjoyng herself, but, that's how my mind work??
THOUGHTS????:confused:

Wow, how scary that must have been! Please don't be hard on yourself. I know I question food choices, treatment, etc with my pets that have passed on - but you have to remind yourself you did the best you could with what you knew then.

And so many times that means you trusted your vet. We want to think they know everything. But her problem may have very well being scar tissue, it's just hard to know now.

My Bubba on occasion will hack and I wonder if he has a partially collapsed trachea. But it's so rare that he does it, then I think it may be something else. An x-ray would be a good idea

My little guy just started making these weird noises two days ago. Everyone told me it's reverse sneezing, and not to worry. But now after reading this thread, I'm afraid it might be collapsed trachea.

This might sound like a stupid question, but is it caused by food? I just recently switched him to a different dry kibble. I went from Natural Balance Venison to Nature's Variety Lamb.

I would watch and observe him closely after he eats..does the reverse sneezing happen after he eats?? is he excited or exerted when he sneezes? Don't worry..my pug lived with this for a very long 14 yrs..He was overweight and lived in the worst climate(desert) for his breed..and still lived a long life with this condition..If it turns out to be collapsed trachea..it is treatable..it's just hard to see them doing it..

Is reverse sneezing when they seem to snort and cant breathe right? bella always does that.. is that something she needs to go to the vet for?

I just fed him and he didn't do it. He hasn't made that noise this whole day actually, so I guess I shouldn't be worried over it. I just got worried the first time because I had never heard this kind of noise coming from him ever.

Well, if you think about it, Humans make alot of funny noises too! Not all snorts and sneezes are serious...You will know when it becomes an ongoing issue that something does not seems right..

No, it is not caused by food. A lot of Yorkies are born with it. It is treatable, but not curable. Prince will have it for the rest of his life, (He's five). The only thing you can do is to give meds when necessary and control their environment. Collars can be a problem for Yorkies since some may be proned to this condition. (Prince has never worn a collar, only a harness).

You're right. You can tell when something is not right. Prince was lieing down and wheezing. He was having a hard time inhaling; he was at the vet as soon as they opened. I conider breathing problems an emergency.

The vet saw it in an X-Ray of our Lhasa Poo's neck.

Ok now I am really worried. Our little Laddy makes a honking noise with a dry gag at end :(. He usually only does it when he first wakes up and maybe a couple times a day but he seems to be sleeping alot. Also at night he makes a very quiet kind of whine sound that you usually cant hear unless you are holding him.. He sees the vet Monday I will see what they say. He is only 4 months old.

I hope everything goes well...like I said it is treatable and had Harvee's been detected early..he could have had the surgery..although he did not do the goose honking until the last year of his life..it was winter and we did run the central heating which did contribute to the dry cough..it worsens during the winter months..Good luck..its not the worst thing for a yorkie to have considering all the life threatening things yorkies do get..

I agree..the food does not cause collapesed trachea but I have seen dogs reverse sneeze when certain foods are ingested..My dog did this when he ingested wheat..
