I lost my Gracie at 6 to a severely collapsed trachea about 13 years ago and she did ok on meds for almost 2 years but it took it's toll on her heart and lungs and sadly she passed at 6. I checked into surgery at that time and the vets at Texas A&M consulted with me by phone and said where her collapse was (thoracic area did not have a good outcome and the complications were many and they would not recommend it for her. That was a long time ago and hopefully they have more advanced procedures. I hope the one you are getting can be maintained on meds.
