I am so sorry. My last Yorkie, Gracie had the severely collapsed trachea in the thoracic area too. She was diagnosed at 5 1/2 and after a year of one er visit after the other and researching surgical options I had to put her to sleep. Her breathing had become so labored and loud and she hardly moved. I also was told that the surgery has a lot of side effects and may cause more harm, requiring them to have a permanent traceotomy. Hopefully with meds you will have more time with your baby. I will keep you all in my prayers |
