| Sat night at ER: Max gagging Max is okay, but we would appreciate positive thoughts that all is fine. Max started gagging late this afternoon. He was breathing fine and even eating, but he started rubbing his face in the carpet like something was wrong. Still breathing fine, but when he tried to bark he would start gagging hard and sounded raspy. I checked the corners of his mouth to make sure he didn't have any hair down his throat. We went over to the doggy ER and saw a very nice doc. I was relieved because I'm so nervous about seeing vets I don't know, especially for something potentially serious. The doctor was confident that Max doesn't have anything in his throat, but he did see a little irritation. After the exam and discussing the remote possibilities of what Max would have had access to today and the fact that he was never out my sight, we decided against sedating for xrays. Max did have a CET chew today, but I held it the whole time and he never got a piece off of it. Max already sounds better, but is reluctant to bark. We are going to keep him under closer supervision (meaning I won't be sleeping).

| Oh, Lord, I know how scared you were and are but hopefully he just got a bit of irritation in his throat from something and it will heal up. Yorkies are such grubbers, going after things in the grass or anywhere, if you looked away for a moment he could have gotten something rough in his throat. Hope it stays nothing and he's much better tomorrow.

| I should add that I don't think it was cellophane or a leaf, because he was never out of my sight today. Hairballs and a little stuffing ball he could have licked up quickly and tried to swallow immediately. Everything else he plays with in his mouth.

| Poor baby! I had a similar scare with Cooper 2 years ago. He was coughing and doing a lot of heavy swallowing. He had a throat infection and we never knew what caused it. Could have been anything that scratched his throat. If I remember correctly Cooper had a fever and was given antibiotics for the infection. Did the vet do any treatment or just suggest to watch him closely? Any fever? As you probably already know, I'll be around all night tonight.

| Cooper's experience was different because I didn't act as quickly as you. I think he had issues for a few days before I brought him to the vet. If you remember he used to do that weird licking thing every night so it was tough to say when it was serious. Can you take his temperature and see if it's still elevated? He'll probably be fine. Is he acting ok?
