I had 3 yorkies with Collapsed trachea's, 2 were mild and lived to almost 13 years old with no medications. Just when they got excited they would cough so i tried to keep them stress free. My last one Gracie died at 6 1/2 from complications of a severe Collapsed trachea. She was on many different meds. It is very important to never put pressure on their necks, keep their weight normal and avoid stressing them out. A vet can tell you how severe it is with Xrays. Most times it is not a problem till they hit 5 years or older. I would definatley check it out with your vet, it may be something less serious. |
