my dogs sneezing & strange clearing of throat

Question
I have a queensland heeler, and two doxies.  I puppy sit a yorkie mix who is 12 weeks old.  In the last few days my queensland started to sneeze a lot and for the first time I am hearing her make this strange sound like she has a tickle in her throat - it sounds like she is clearing her throat over and over again.  I have heard my doxies do that before - I always thought it was when she pulled too hard when she walked on a leash.  Now all the dogs are sneezing and making that noise.  The puppy is sneezing but not making the other noise right now.  We live in California and it has been very windy in the past week.  I am scared. Can you help me?
Thanks, Kris

Answer
Hi Kris!

I think maybe the Yorkie Mix probably had a cold and passed it along to the other Dogs.

But I suggest you wait awhile and then if the problem presist I suggest you contact your veterinarian. The Dogs could have respiratory problems or cardiac problems.

Hope this helps!
