My pom has been coughing, choking a lot lately, she's 10 years old and she had to have a chest Xray to check to see if her enlarged heart had gotten worse before they started treating her Cushing's disease and teh Xray showed her trachea was severley collapsed in a part if it and was causing the coughing. My other 2 have the reverse sneeze and it is definatley different sounding than the trachea problem/ Hopefully the vet is correct, but you may want a chest Xray done. He also said with her trachea problem he would not advise surgery for her perianal hernia, so before you have the hernia repaired I would want to make sure her trachea is ok. Generally with the collpased trachea pressing on the throat will start the cough so it probably is the reverse sneeze. Keep us posted. |
