[HighlandYorkies]

Hi there....I am sorry to hear of your poor dog's pain...my first Yorkie Tara is 8 now and is a tiny at 4lbs. She has a collapsed trachea, and at 1 year, the vet said it was really bad and she wouldn't see 4 years...she is absolutely fine...she lives a nice life and I don't stress her out or walk her too far...though she can fairly run on a beach, lol....but as long as you get the treatment to settle the injury and keep her quiet after that...no stress or excitement, and if she has a coughing fit, then gently hold down her snout and massage her neck...this opens the windpipe, and stops the coughing...then your dog can go on for years ! Tara is the proof.
Good luck ...here's hoping they can reduce the swelling
