I have 4 Yorkies, Chelsie my 3 year old, has collapsed trachea.
She had surgery this summer to have a stent placed in her trachea.
The BIG difference in knowing it was her trachea was
when she began to make the "honking" or "snorting" sound~
Also it just kept getting worse and more frequent.
I had a vet tell me not to be concerned as well,
but I knew that something was terribly wrong.
I took her to the University Veterinary Hospital where
they preformed a scope and confirmed her condition.
Collapsed trachea is an absolutely heartbreaking condition,
and unfortunately there is really no good options.
