My 2 year old yorkie has just started dry heaving, he was sleeping just fine and was woken up with this heaving noise. It has occurred about 5 times since he has woken up, and he isn't coughing up anything. He is up to date with his heart worm medication, and I don't know if I should take him to have a check up with the vet. It's pretty late already, around 2 in the morning, so I'll have to take him tomorrow, but is there anything to control the heaving coughs at the moment?
This is the first time that I have seen occur so often after each other, and I'm just really worried if he's in need of attention right now or if it's nothing to serious to get worked up on.
As of right now, he has stopped heaving and is sleeping once again. But I am still worried.
* He's not really my dog, he's my older sister's, but she's out of town for work at the moment, and so I don't know the vet she goes to.
