Default Callie update

I wanted to update on Callie. She seemed to be doing better Friday so we waited until Monday to take her to the vet. They did x-rays and her chest was clear but it looked like her her trachea got smaller as it go closer to her head. So she said her diagnoses was collapsing trachea and that is just aggravated right now so she gave us some steroids to try for about a week and it will be a quick on and then a wean off. She says keep her cool and non stresses and well as get a pound off of her. I knew it was suspected she had a mild case of CT but never really thought it was gonna be a problem. I think some how I thought that what is was because she kinda honked a little Sunday night so I tried to prepare my grandma for that and explain it to her but it still seems to upset her. Honestly I think we all were a bit upset because I know it can get worse as she gets older. The vet said her heart sounded great and looked fine in the x-rays but she said they have a radiologist who always comes in one day a week and one of the things is he looks at is ALL x-rays they have taken that have the heart in them and if for some reason he sees something she will let us know on Thursday when she calls to check on Callie. On another note when we got home she was very happy and finally played with me some and that made me feel better. My vet gave us some info on CT but anyone experiences good and bad and any info they can share about CT is greatly appreciated.
