Had a horrible scare tonight! Shorty our 12 plus year old with a collapsed treachea problem had some sort of a seizure. He woke up from his nap coughing, which is not uncommon. Only this time he just couldn't catch his breath! After watching him struggle for several seconds, he just passed out! I thought he had died in my arms!! My 25 year old daughter grapped him and kept patting him on his back with his body tilted slightly downward. He regained consciousness and I called the emergency clinic while she kept doing this...He seems OK now and even ate about 3 teaspoons of food afterwards. He has been on theophylline for his cough for several months now and it always seemed to help the trachea issue...Off to our vet tomorrow...But for tonight..I will be sleeping by his side.
