I live in Illinois and when my other Yorkie I had was diagnosed with a severely collapsed trachea at just over 5 years old , my vet told me to contact Texas a& m University Vet clinic and they were so kind and sent me a research paper on a stidy that had just been done on collapsed trachea and said if it was their dog they wpould not advise the surgery based on their finding. Point is i would definately get in touch with them. |
