I have an 8 month old yorkie, Roxy, whom I love very much. She was given to me by my boyfriend as a surprise, and she is my baby. Well, after one episode of her seeming to not be able to breath (only lasted 2 sec) ----- i took her to the vet. I had also done a little research on the internet.

The vet confirmed that she does have a mildly "narrowed" trachea. I saw the xrays myself. My question is......anyone out there have any experience long term in living with this condition? Ive read all the info on it, but she's only 8 months so I have a long way to go.

The vet seemed to think this was manageable -- but any of you out there have any input on your experience with living with a yorkie with this condition? Thanks.
