Default trachea

please feel free to ask me anything you want about trachea in yorkies,, i had a yorkie who started his trachea collapse at about 4 years old, he never had a collar on him and just out of the blue it started,,, trachea problems are cumlative,, think of it as a straw, once it has a crack in it its gets worse and worse, I took fife to the best trachea doctor in the world I went to the best 3 one at penn one at cornell and one in california, while stent can be placed in some dogs and infact is costly it cannt be done in all dogs as was the case with fife.,, and the rate of success is also very low, I tried it all, I have about 30 dif meds some worked some didnt i bought the meds from the pawhealer lady also after I found her online,, I tried it all,,, Most yorkies that have a collapsed or collapsing trachea live less than 6 months, so said the world expect in tracheas, fife lived 2 years after his diagnosis, and was doing really great he lived a normal life until the last few weeks, feel freem to pm me or even call me and i can tell you what worked for fife.
