| Is it normal for yorkies to cough when they wake up and after they run around alot because this is what my baby has been doing. I told the vet this and he told me it was normal for small breeds but im still kinda worried. Has anyone experienced this???? |

| You don't give very much time for someone to answer a question before replying with rolling eyes that "no one must have this problem...' Frankly, I find it very snarky and rude. 44 minutes is not a long time. Give your thread more time for it be answered. And to answer your question, no, I've never had this problem.

| I have never heard of this being normal for a small breed. I think I would get a second opinion from another vet.

| My puppy did have this problem but it was kennel cough and perhaps if you got that puppy from the same breeder it could be what was wrong with the first Munchie, however I find it odd that your vet said it was normal , my vet new immediatly that it was kennel cough and she was given antibiotics.... I really dont think its normal.....

| He's so young I wouldn't give him anything unless prescribed by a vet. Take him to a new vet because I can't see how a vet would think that is normal in a puppy.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | How did you find this vet, have you ever used him before? Was he also the breeder of the dog? I'm concerned because you got the second dog from the same breeder as the first dog, and you didn't give us clear answers on what was wrong with the first dog. Did the vet say the first Munchie had kennel cough or bronchitis or a little cold? It's really important to understand the exact words he uses. These things are contagious and if the first dog had something, the second may have been exposed to the same thing. Is this the only time your dog coughs? I don't know much about kennel cough, but I doubt if they only cough in the morning. I would not try to treat the dog myself, but I would find a vet I had confidence and explained these things to me, until I understood them. It kind of sounds like your vet is blowing you off.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Why didn't you say this is your first post? May I ask, how old are you?

Perhaps Munchie 1 had kennel cough too if that is the case it is very very contagious and air borne which is likely how Munchie 2 caught it, but it is my no means a reason to return a dog nor keep them over night But it is also NOT NORMAL and does require antibiotics.. please find another vet and get Munchie an antibiotic , the cough goes away in time with the perscription...
