Can you post videos? I would love to see them. Also, have you shown your vet?

Again, I recommend a flouroscopy for a diagnosis. CT can be diagnosed by Xray but is not always picked up depending on inspiration and expiration. If the xray shows it, it is conclusive; but, if it doesn't show it could still be there. Flouroscopy visualizes the pup during inspiration and expiration so they can see how the trachea really is functioning.
