| Serious or Not? Isla is 2 1/2 but as the years (all 2, ha!) have gone on she's developed a honking. At first it was more sporadic when she was really excited or twisted her neck a weird way to lick or something. Maybe it happened a couple times a week. Now it's a guarantee several times a day. It doesn't happen when she's running around so much as when we just get home and she's happy/excited to see us. She doesn't have to be doing anything, either, just standing there. And if she turns her neck to reach something she'll do it a lot. Almost every night as she's getting comfy. I thought it was a reverse sneeze right away but can they do that that much? I don't know what it is, or if it's serious or not. The last time I took her in the vet palpated her trachea and said she had some reaction, but not severe. Although I do think the situation has gotten worse since then. Do trachea problems happen over time or can reverse sneezes persist that often? Thoughts? BTW, she's not overweight.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | If it has gotten worse since the vet last saw her, I would have it checked out if only for my own peace of mind. These little dogs have delicate tracheas and they can be injured by pressure on the throat... such as leading on a leash with a collar instead of a harness. If the trachea is ruled out as the cause, you might ask your vet about allergies. I had a non-yorkie who made that honking noise and it turned out her post-nasal drip was the cause -- whenever she would get excited she would aspirate some of the phlegm and then start "honking" to try to expel it. Used to scare me out of my wits (what there was of them). We got her on antihistamines and she very seldom had a phlegm problem after that. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | If it seems to be positional, then I would take her back to the vets to be checked for Collapsed Trachea.
