Or so my vet tells me 
The noise he makes when I touch his throat is different from the noise of a reverse sneeze, though. The reverse sneeze sounds like snorting through the nose whereas he does more of a coughing/hacking from his mouth when I touch his throat. Do you use a harness when you walk or a collar with a leash?
I have no idea why this is more of a problem with little dogs, maybe someone else knows? |
Do you know if there is something that an owner can do to help
not get the collapsed trachea problem? I wonder what causes it?
