Default Bad news from the VET

Took Louie (my 1 1/2 yr old) to go get neutured yesterday. As he was under, they asked me if they could pull some of his baby teeth that didn't come out. So I gave them the O.K..
I also had an appt to get Elle's shots done when I picked up Louie. As she gave her the shots we talked about Elle's coughing not getting any better. They had diagnosed it as kennel cough. She has had it since the day I brought her home. She is 5 months old now. She told me that she is leaning now towards collapsing trachea. She messed with her a bit and got her to cough by pressing on her throat. After doing research, I agree with her theory.
Then after checking her over some more, she discovered she has a slight problem with luxating patellas. She said we need to watch this and make sure it doesnt get worse or she will need the surgery.
Now it being the 2nd day of Louie's surgery, he is now throwing up and not feeling good. He just looks so sad. I hate to see him like this but I know he will get through this.
I hate getting bad news, specially when it concerns my babies.
Question....should I contact the breeder and let her know Elle might have the collapsing trachea? Cause isn't it inherited?
