Melanie doesn't sound good! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MellyBelly Mom · 10-05-2010, 05:24 AM

Hello everyone!

Melanie sounds like she is congestioned. She is acting like her normal self, played with her friends last night is eating normally, but sounds like she has a stuffed nose and as if she had a congestioned chest, is that something I cab treat with children cough syrup? Should I take her to the vet? She became like take 2 nights ago when we slept with the window open...

Thanks!

If she has been congested now for two days I would take her to a vet for diagnosis.

I agree that a vet appointment is in order. I hope she feels better soon!

How is Melanie doing this morning? Hope she is all better!

Is she a puppy and did she recently get any vaccines?

Hi guys! Thank you so much for your concerns! I waited to see if she would "get rid" of it on her own. Yesterday she was fine and playing and happy, eating and drinking well, slept the whole night between DH and I one of us always holding her to keep her warm and I also had a sueter on her. But then this morning when we got up she had such a bad cough that I thought she was suffocating. Was so scary!! She was coughing the hell out of that little body, then stopped. I took her out and she pulled the leash (we are working on this bad habit) and that also made her cough badly.
So we took her to the vet and left her there the whole morning in observation. The vet told us she has a cold and gave as a medication to make her feel more comfortable and an antibiotic.

Do you guys agree with this diagnosis? Its not her heart or lungs since she had an X-Ray for a little heart murm she has and it was all all right.

Is there anything else you guys can think of?

Love,
Juliana & Melanie

I would do as my vet suggested.....May I ask if you have a collar on your baby? If you do please know that Yorkies are great for getting a collapsed trachea. So I would keep and eye on her and see what happens. If it gets worse id be on that vets doorstep in a heartbeat..............sending hugs and kisses to your baby!.................Boops Mom

MellyBelly Mom · 10-06-2010, 12:58 PM

I was thinking that. I didn't know that until I read it on YT, I'm getting read of the collar.

Thank you!

Perhaps it is a reverse sneeze? It is pretty harmless, but can alarm you if you don't know what it is.
