| Tiki's Trachea Hello all. It has been as stressful few weeks as Tiki just had a stent placed in his trachea which had a phase III collapse. Does anyone have any experience with these stents, and how long they can last. The vet likes to skirt around giving me best and worst case scenario. I am worried it may be only weeks or months I have left with the little guy. please help. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I don't have experience with this, but I hope someone on here might be able to help. Do you think maybe it's time for a second opinion? I have some experience w/ cardiac stents and they can last for years. I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.

| Tiki's Trachea Update Well, we received some good news. The stent has not moved at all, and I actually was able to see the before and after X-rays. Tiki would not be with us anymore had we not rushed him in and intubated him. The doctor said we need to continue to monitor, but the stent will hopefully give "the manser" a long happy life. Thanks for your support. |
