Her former owner used a throat collar on her. Could she have developed collapsing trachea? We'll be taking her for a wellness check on Thursday, but is there anything I should do for her before then?

YES
When this happens, tub her throat and talk gently to her to calm her and get her to stop.
Is she her ideal weight? If she happens to be overweight, you will need to trim her down as this helps to keep CT attacks down.
As, keeping her belly cool (shaved or wet down), and also steam (steam up a closed bathroom) helps with breathing
