Does anyone have a recent (last 12 months) with using a stent to control collapsing trachea? Our Zoey who's only 6 has had the condition for the last few years. Recently it's gotten much worse. We need to use drugs to knock her out every day. She gets so excited from little things like being hungry or thirsty. We have to watch her constantly. Its not good for us or for her. We are seriously thinking of having a stent inserted, The vet makes it sound like it's very safe. It seems like there are lots of post but very few of them recent.

Thanks
