Yorkie is sneezing - YorkieTalk.com Forums

we went camping last week and I think my baby (5 months) might have a little cold. Any ideas of what to do beside the obvoius, call the vet? How can you tell if they have a cold? He is running around and playing but sometimes stops to sneeze.

Best advice is always to go to the vet and ask your vet.
Lexi was sneezing a lot because I took her outside to pee and it was wet and raining plus the weather is changing from summer to fall. She sneezed every minute but now it's gone away. I did not take her to the vet but I should have. I'm lucky it wasn't anything too serious.

You want to be very careful with the little one's. Take to vet. Respiratory problems can easily become pneumonia.

Yorkies are very delicate, just what others have said, take your baby to the vet.

Yep...there is no other answer besides call the vet! Please do this asap....putting it off could lead to a very sick pup.
Good luck!
Keep us posted, please!

thanks all, took Winston to the vet. She says he might have picked up a batercia or something camping this weekend. Had no temp and has a little drainage but it is clear. We are going to give him some meds and she how he does in a week. If anything changes I am to call her. Was glad I went, I feel better about it. The other little dog we were keeping last week also has the same thing (3yr Yorkie 4lbs.) her vet told her to make sure I had my dog checked. When she called I tolded her we had just got back from the vets.
Thanks you all. I had an Old English for 16yrs. I worry about my little guy all the time because he is so little.

That's wonderful to hear. They can go down so fast. I'm happy to hear he's doing so well.
