I think this is the video--any other comments from those who have had this or do have collapsing tracheas would be appreciated. |
Thanks so much for posting this. My Roxy does this. In the winter months she is fine, but it just started to pick up again a couple of weeks ago. She sounds just like Raphie.
When Roxy was at the Specialist for her LP surgery I told the Dr. about the noise. The Dr. pressed her throat and Roxy started to make the noise. She said Roxy does have CT. They did an x-ray of her throat and chest before the LP surgery to see 'how bad' the CT was. But in a resting postition, her T was ok. So the Dr. said it is just mild.
But I don't know...
That video of Ralphie is EXACTLY - EVERYTHING ABOUT IT (same loud noise, same posture, etc...) what Roxy does
She used to do it alot when she was excited, now she does it for no reason. A couple of weeks ago, she was doing it all night and once I got her to stop make the loud noise, her throat was still in a spasm, I kept rubbing her throat and it would finally stop and we'd fall alseep, only to be awoken by the loud noise again. It went on at least 10 x during the night. The next morning I was on another group who told me to cool down her pressure points (under arms and belly).
Since Roxy needed a bath anyway, I shaved down her belly and arm pits and put her in the bath. After the bath and breathing in the steam she was fine.
PLEASE let me know what your Vet says after he sees the Video.
