Default Possible collapsed trachea?

I adopted two yorkies (Duckie and Turtle) two weeks ago. Many of you may know about them from the posts here on YT. My question is concerning Turtle. He weighs four pounds and is 3 years old. He seems to be having signs of a collapsed trachea, bronchitis, or some sort of respiratory cold. When he eats, drinks, or gets a bath, he sounds like a goose. It's almost like a cough, I don't really know how to explain it. It lasts for a good 5-10 minutes, and it seems to be getting worse. What do you guys think this could be? Do dogs this young generally develop collapsed tracheas? I really hope it's just something that can be fixed with medicine. I would hate for him to have to suffer with a collapsed trachea
