| Coughing/Hacking? Sasha woke me up around 5 this morning and started having what I call a "coughing spell". This has only happened to her 1 other time, but it was years ago. She starts coughing and it looks as though her stomach is trying to get her to throw something up. She coughs and coughs and then lets out a huge hack like something is caught in her throat. Her stomach also makes weird noises, almost like a grumbling noise. When she begins to cough/hack, it almost looks like it hurts her stomach a bit because she lets out very very quiet little cries. Any idea as to what's going on? |

| I would take her to the vet asap. She may have gotten a hold of something very tiny. Do you use those tiny rubber bands in her hair? I know of someone whose puppy swallowed three of those...they showed up in the xray. Hopefully whatever it is will pass...literally. I hope Sasha feels better soon.

No I've never used rubber bands in her hair. I usually don't have her hair get that long unless it's winter time where I'll let it stay somewhat long for longer periods. She ended up stopping her "episode" about 20 minutes after 5am. She was fine all day...ate with no problems, drank water, did all her business...no issues. She was her normal self so I'm not sure what it was all about this morning. | |

| Is it possible this is a reverse sneeze? Sounds like it, but 20 minutes seems a bit long??? Have you seen this thread? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...d-trachea.html
