Oh, boy could I have saved a lot of money if I knew to video my dogs for the vet! Great advice! Ladyjane is correct - our little dogs do not perform on demand for the vet.
My Edward has a collapsed trachea. When he has one of episodes I have him stand with his legs spaced to open the chest cavity. I encourage him to lift his head slightly by talking gently to him and very lightly pet him to calm him down. Running, barking or excitement can trigger an episode. You are doing the right thing by getting a proper diagnosis from your vet. Let us know the outcome.
