Wow, I can't believe the tech thinks its not that serious. Maybe they have never been up all night listening to a doggy suffocate because of no air getting in his lungs. It is Most definetly FATAL. Please if you have a puupy that sounds like a goose, get him checked out. When we 1st found out my Vet suggested we think about putting Cosmo down so he doesnt suffer. I believe it is Inherited from and could be from mis-use of a collar or from children holding them too tight. It is common in toy breeds. Once you find out your puppy/dog has CT, you think of all the ways it could of happened but do not take this lightly. It is so sad to watch a doggy suffocate!

also, did the previous owner walk the dog on a collar? what other ways do dogs develop CT if not from leash/collar pulling?
thanks guys. |
