Default COLLAPSED TRACHEA..please help!!

I have a small 3lb yorkie who is 3 1/2 years old. He was diagnosed with a collapsed trachea about 8 months ago. My Vet said it is too close to his heart so surgery was not an option. He has been doing ok since we took him from his owner at that time. Now all of a sudden he has been non-stop with his breathing problems. I feel so helpless. I cant put him to sleep even though he is suffering. What can I do for him? Ive read some yorkies live a long life with this disease. It has been in the high 90's this whole week where i live. I have him in the a.c. though. He started yesterday with the difficult breathing and when I got home about 9pm he was still doing it. I know if I call my Vet he will say its time to put him down. I pray he makes it til morning. Please, any advice or suggestions?? My poor Cosmo!
