She would have the little cough at a young age and them by 8 she was fainting from it. At 12 had to be put down. But The Vet never diagnosed her with CT so I never treated it. If I treated it she could of lived longer. Just now I am realizing that she had CT. The vet told me she was not fainting she was having seizures but I beg to differ. I hope your puppy and my puppy don't have CT and if they do it will not progress and stay the same. I have done a lot of research myself and some people say there dogs has never progressed and some said they have so I guess only time will tell with our puppies. |
It just sucks not knowing for sure. I have watched soooo many videos of any type of dog cough imaginable and I still cant tell for sure what it sounds like. The reverse sneeze is pretty distinctive in my opinion, but CT is different. In all the CT videos I've watched it seems like no 2 coughs sound exactly the same. Some sound high pitched, some low, some more like a honk, some not. It also sounded like Kennel cough, but I know for sure it's not that. This elongated soft palate thing is new to me, but I cant really find much on it as far as the sounds the pup makes besides snoring. I guess only time will tell, and we just have to hope for the best.
