| Collapsed Trachea I am just trying to learn more about collapsed trachea, as the vet has diagnosed Moe as having this.I would like to know things I can do for him when he goes into what I call his "fits", sometimes they last so long he closes his eyes and looks like he may pass out.I have tried to be aware of the triggers for his episodes, so far its, excitement, perfumes or perfumed sprays, being upset such as bath time or grooming time(he dont like them) cold air, and certain amounts of pressure on his chest, such as trying to hold him still or in place.The dr hasn't assigned him any medications or types of therapy for this, so I wondered what I could do.Any suggestions are welcome.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Hey where have you been!!!! Good to see you back!! My last 3 yorkies all had varying degrees of collapsed trachea's. 2 lived a full life (13 years each) with only minor discomfort. My last had a very severe one worsened by trauma to her neck area and only lived until 6 1/2. I was told to not let them get overweight at all, no collars, limit excitement as much as possible and try broncho diallators prescribed by the vets. Most cases are mild and can be managed. I hope Moe has a very mild case!
