Default How to help trachea problem?

Isla has been consistantly doing a goose honk for awhile now. At her last appointment I told the vet about it and he palpated her throat and got a minor reaction. He said it wasn't much to worry about but just watch her weight as being overwieght would intensify the problem (she's about a pound overweight according to him-6.3 lbs).

However, she honks everyday at some point now. It isn't always when she's wound up. It's usually after we get home and let her out of the kennel and she's excited to see us, but she's moving slowly after her nap-streching-as she gets out. She could be barely moving! Or another frequent time is at night when she's on the bed right after she jumps up or after she'll twist around to clean something. Obviously if you touch her throat wrong, have a leash on (she almost always wears a harness) or even at randam times she'll honk. I feel so bad! Her whole body heaves and I just don't know what to do to make it better!

Any suggestions? Do you think it's a trachea problem?
