How wonderful she has you at this time in her life. I lost my last Yorkie, Gracie at 6 1/2 from complications of a severely collapsed trachea and it was the most difficult thing to go through. Thunderstorms would set her off in t a breathing spell and I lived in dread of thunderstorms. One mistake I made was I always used a collar on her as I didnt know better back then. Now if I see a person with a small dog and I see quite a few, I try to nicely tell them that a harness is so much better for their tracheas. Also, keeping them from getting overweight helps. Good luck Iwill keep her in my prayers. |
