I thought long and hard about posting again, as I have seen how the comments can get rather inflammatory and that is not my goal, but I did find an interesting website today which stated this:
Obesity, inhalation of irritants or allergens, respiratory infection, enlarged heart and endotracheal intubation may precipitate the actual collapse.

If they feel this way, then I wonder how many other veterinarians feel the same. Again, I'm not trying to "start" something, just posting a fact found on the web.
Have a lovely day! I'm celebrating my Kissy's 8th birthday. Thankful that she survived her recent problems. I love her so very much.
