As for the videos....the reason I posted NEW ones instead of those older ones was because someone mentioned their dog honking when it is doing a reverse sneeze. I just think they are better examples is all...I have lived with both and am so familiar. People who have never heard a CT dog are often startled when they do. It is so hard to explain. The sounds are SO different....and there is no honking during a reverse sneeze. I see that mentioned a lot and wanted to show the real difference. |
yeah it is sad as the ct causes heart problems
ct is a very sad thing and hope it never happens to mine. I had dd trachea xrayed when she was under for spay as i had no clue what ct was but read about it and was confused as well by reverse sneeze vs ct so was paranoid as she had reverse sneeze more than my others but she was fine and her trachea was ok - wondering does cosequin help with this to strengthen the trachea ?
there is a yahoogroup called collapsed trachea on yahoogroups.com for information
and i would never recommend surgery for these dogs as the success rate is not good
