My 3.5 year old furbaby was recently diagnosed with a collapsed trachea and a leaky heart valve. I have been dealing with her coughing since mid July. It was first thought it was kennel cough. After not getting better we did an x-ray. My vet saw that her heart was enlarged and figured it was pressing on her trachea. But he said once the heart specialist came in (he comes in once a month) he would have him take a look at it. He is the one that saw she had a collapsed trachea and heart disease. She is on Enalapril and Furosemide for her heart. And she is on Torbutrol for her cough with supplemental Hydrocodone syrup as needed. Whenever she starts new meds its like a miracle and she will hardly cough for 2 - 3 weeks and then it slowly goes back to the way it was. She used to mainly cough at night. That was thought to be from her resting and fluid would build up around her heart and cause her to cough. Now it seems she is coughing all the time. It breaks my heart. Besides the meds she is on, I don't wear a collar on her and I run a humidifier at night for her. I am asking for any advise on maybe different meds we can try or things I can do at home for her to help with her cough. Thanks so much.
