A vet cant always tell if a dog has ct by what it presents with, they can usually make an educated guess but extensive tests need to be done to make sure its a ct not something else. Bad breeding causes ct, it can be agravated by many factors a collar not a harness the heat any many many more but the cause is in breeding its genetic. |
According to the vet the substance the puppies got into caused their trachea to narrow. The brush they chewed on had a dried powder chemical substance on it and I imagine they inhaled some of the substance and that chemical caused the trachea have a reaction and collapse. Luckily the pups recovered, I really don't know if any permanent damage was done. The first vet did run a test that show the trachea was narrowed.
