Why does my Maltese Shih Tzu gag and choke but nothing comes up?

Question

My Maltese/Shih Tzu recently started to gag on nothing. Her body goes rigid, and it sounds like she is choking. She tries to vomit, nothing expelle

Tomasz Wnuk · Accepted Answer

She may have a scratch or swelling in the throat. It could be infection of the throat / trachea. Small breed dogs, like Shih-tzu or Yorkie suffer from tracheal collapse which can produce gagging and loud coughing. I would recommend you to take your dog to your vets to establish diagnosis and to get treatment.
