Hello! I Have A One Year Old Yorkie. He Has Been Having Some Problems Recently…
Hello! I have a one year old Yorkie. He has been having some problems recently – he started coughing and it sounds like he has something stuck in his throat. This gets worse when he is excited about something or when he is about to be taken for a walk. He vomitted only once and after that the coughing got more severe. I took him to two vets – one told me that he has tonsilitis and prescribed some antibiotics. The situation got better for several days but now he is coughing again. When we visited him for the second time, he recommended having my dog’s tonsils removed. The other one told me that my dog had a problem with an elongated soft palate which I found very strange for I didn’t know that Yorkies can have such problems. Also, he made this diagnosis just by listening to him coughing, without any kind of examination. Other than coughing, my dog is active and hasn’t lost his appetite. Can you please help us?

Anonymous i would be concerned about her thyroid, depending on age and breed. when was her last bloodwork?
-
Ashley Connor She is roughly 9-10 yrs old and sorry but what do u mean by bloodwork
-
Anonymous i mean your vet takes blood from your dog (this should be done annually) and screened for any abnormalities which would indicate illness.
if you haven’t had this done in the past 6 months, i’d get it done today.
-
Ashley Connor She also has a little diarreah.I am taking her to vets tomorrow but would like an idea of what to expect it to be.
-
Anonymous my concern was mentioned in my first comment. this sounds like hypothyroid. asuming that’s what it is, it can be managed with drugs. but a senior blood panel is a necessary annual thing.

Ashley Connor Thank you for your help much appreciated

Adam Wysocki I’m wondering if that is a possible allergic reaction to Dextromethorphan? What did the vet say?

Kelly Furgason Hello,
I’m glad that you are at a vet now to see if any reaction is happening. Robitussin can be used by dogs (it’s not cleared by FDA for use in dogs, but many vets to use it to treat)…I’ve never heard of any reactions with it, but I’m sure there are some dogs that do.
Would be interested to hear back from you after the vet does the exam.

Kelly Furgason Hello,
It sounds like your dog is vomiting bile. Sometimes if a dog hasn’t eaten in awhile the bile can irritate the stomach and then they vomit. How long does your dog go between meals? If your dog only eats once a day, try doing twice per day…or even three times per day if possible. Use the same daily amount of food, just divide it up into more than one feeding.Of course, it could be other things that can cause this, but this would be my first thought.

Laura Kyle Can you take her in and have the vet or technician so you how to wrap it? Or use a t-shirt/dressing to cover it safely.
-

Laura Kyle I have seen animals run around and act normal after their leg is splinted. Can’t say that I have ever seen a dog run around with a fractured leg and not limp or hold the leg up. Even dogs with toe fractures hold their legs up.

chad perry 0.05 to 0.1mg of Imodium AD per pound of dog
pepto bismol is 1 ML per ten pounds of dog for every eight hours but it is always good to ask your vet 1ST
please get him to the vet today. refusing to eat is BAD.
Thank you for your help
He has already had a hair ball two days ago, his sick has been just food, no blood and no blood in his stool
I was trying him on some new food, chicken with pate from whiskers. I’m hoping it’s just to rich for him
whiskas isn’t all that rich. i would be willing to bet it’s something else. take him to the vet.
I think that this website is great along with all the caring people who are always ready to help!
