Hi there Yorkie friends! My 10 year old Yorkie, Shorty, has a trachea collapsing problem which leads to coughing when he gets excited. We got him at the animal shelter 2 years ago and he had it then. He does not wear a collar, only a soft harness and has been under veterinarian care. His heart is strong, so the vet says, and he is on medication prescribed by our vet. There is so much on the Internet about herbal treatments for this coughing...just wondered if anyone else has experienced a trachea collapsing problem and if they have ever used herbal remedies and what other advice they can give.
