Do Pomeranians typically have gasping and coughing issues? One Vet said: collapsed trachea.
She is two years old and it is really bad when she drinks or eats too fast and gets overly excited. Since she had three pups last July, it isn't as frequent but it was aweful while she was pregnant. Another vet treated her for allergies, but that just made her sleepy.

I have a Pomeranian and occasionally he will cough when he drinks to fast, but other then that he is usually OK. He just has to settle back down and then he's fine again. However I also noticed that if the water is really cold he does it and if the water is warmer he is less likely to have the cough. Just a thought. You should take her back to the vet and have her throat scoped. This should provide you with more information as to why your dog is having these problems.

Absolutely they do. I have a pom, a "non"-breeder type, who has suffered from extreme coughing spasms and breathing problems since we got her. She's about six years old now. Our vet said that the collapsed trachea is definately a problem with poms. When she gets really bad, we give her some ice cream (barely a spoonful) to coat her throat. She "honks" whenever excited or scared. She also snores really loud. They said it can get worse, I'm just hoping it does not.
