Keeping her cool. House temp set at 69 degrees @ night,
Keeping her from getting too excited.
She loved most of all going for car rides,a lightly baked beef rib bone at night once a week,a new toy,and of course her mom being close by.
Vet advised that there was no really effective remedy yet.
Maybe someday there will be progress in identifying those
bloodlines that this condition shows up in.
Please note I am not saying your pet has this problem just relaying what happened to us and hopefully giving you a
research option. |
Excellent post. I should have mentioned that. My understanding is that collapsed trachea and reverse sneezing aren't related, but some of their symptoms can be similar. Definitely ask the vet to make sure it's not a collapsed trachea.
