YorkieTalk Newbie! | My Yorkie will not quit coughing.... Please Give advise... My female yorkie is 5 month old . I have had her for 4 weeks and she has coughed ever since I brought her home. We have been to the vet 3 times . Did the antbiotic route. Clavamox. Didnt work... We took xrays of her throat and they were clear. She coughs more at night while she is sleeping. It breaks my heart to watch her suffer. She weighs only 1.9 pounds. She is very loving and very playful. She eats ,acts normal. I am lost . Please advise. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Is her cough one that ends with a gag at the end? It's likely kennel cough. Vets will prescribe antiboitic to prevent it from developing into pneumonia but very rarely prescribe anti cough meds. You can use a warm mist vaporizer with vick's in it or take her into a steam filled bathroom. Sometimes kennel cough takes a long time to clear up completely.
