Hi,
Yorkshire Terriers are a breed predisposed to tracheal collapse. This condition is a flattening of the windpipe (trachea) which can lead to an airway obstruction, causing breathing difficulties. It is a degenerative and progressive condition, meaning that without management, the symptoms will get worse.
Medical treatment mainly involves cough suppressants, bronchodilators, and steroids. Surgical treatment involves fitting a stent; don't hesitate to consult your vet for advice. A stent can truly resolve the issue, whereas medical treatment only manages the symptoms, though it does still provide comfort for your pet.
You can also make sure your dog isn't overweight, use a harness instead of a collar, and limit irritants in their environment (cigarette smoke, candles, etc.). With the current hot weather, keep a close eye on him as he may be more susceptible to heatstroke.
Best regards,
Quitterie
