Becoming overly frustrated because the vet cant figure out my yorkies health issue Heres what we know so far. A low pitched wheezing is present when: A)Theres something in her mouth and her mouth is open. B)She is smelling anything C)Upon inspiration and expiration D)While shes sleeping She also has rapid breathing (45 breaths per minute) Gained alot of weight due to Prednisilone for 3 months Doesnt want to play anymore After Xrays and an ultrasound the good news: No reverse PDA, or collapsed trachea. Its not reverse sneezing either. She does have minimal fluid in her lungs. She already has been on Clavamax for it. She doesnt seem like shes in pain. She still gets very excited to see us, or when she gets to go on a car ride. Her gums and tongue are pink, so it looks like shes getting enough oxygen. I really worry about the strain this is putting on her respiratory system. Can she die from this? Anybody ever hear or see this in any yorkies? On a side note, she had the intranasal kennel cough vaccine in the past because the injection did not agree with her. Could this cause it? I am also wondering about asthma, or Laryngeal paralysis. I dont know what to do anymore. My current vet is super nice, but maybe I need to see another specialist. |
is it like any of these ? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...d-trachea.html maybe you can video tape it if not |
Thanks for sharing the videos. I know for a fact that she does reverse sneezing whenever she gets excited to see someone. This is different though. I will try to download video from my phone tonight. Thank you. Quote:

She doesnt have a heart murmur. I tried to download a video off of my phone but its not working. I will try to get some footage tomorrow on my digital camera which has a video option on it. |
why is she on prednisolone? did she have pneumonia? |
The vet put her on pred because he suspected that she might have bronchitis, and the fact that there was a very small amount of fluid in her lungs. Hes keeping her on it to reduce the inflammation. I will try to get some footage of her tonight when I get home and post it. |
2 videos posted of the weird noise Sorry about the bad footage. I was just concentrating on trying to get the noise so it could be heard well. Any ideas as to what the heck this could be? Is she asthmatic? |
yeah that sounds bad i have not heard that before - almost like pneumonia sounding to me - i am going to send to my friend who has a dog with bronchial issues and see if she can help you with this |
Did your vet say anything about an enlarged heart? We had a rescue that came in making noises somewhat like this and her heart was enlarged and pressing on other vital organs. |
