Surgery would be the last resort & it is a condition that can be controlled w/the correct environment (like you said temp) & meds/diet. Like 17rosebuds said, many pups develop stronger thracheas as they get older, hopefully Tuffy will be ok. Please keep us posted on the little guy.
Jenny, Hi!
I'd read that about the xrays on 1 of those dogtor sites (wish I had saved everything I've found since it may've helped someone else ). In fact, DH told me last night he's worried about me because ever since we got our lil guy he says I'm online here & researching more than I sleep! I pray that he turns out to be one of the lucky ones that doesn't require surgery but also wanted to assure anyone who may be concerned that whatever it takes we'll do it.
