Hi, All,
I'm amazed at all the Yorkies out there suffering from collapsed tracheas. My prayers are with each one of you. One thing I'd like to mention is to keep yourself as calm as possible. When my baby, (Molly), was in the Emerg. Vet Hospital on Christmas day, I was a basket case. I cried and sobbed and now realize it made her more scared than ever. Her tongue and gums had turned bright blue-It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I realize now it is my job to keep her calm. That sounds pretty impossible but it's the best thing for your Baby. Luckily, the Vet put her in an oxygen tent, intubated her and she survived, Thank God. Now I make an effort to keep her calm and to keep myself calm so I can think straight. Her life depends on it.
