proclapsing trachea my 18 month old yorkie has a proclapsing trachea. She coughs for about 10 seconds maybe twice a day. this doesnt seem to slow her down, but I am worried about future problems( ie heart). Does anyone have any advice for me . Greyhame |
hope someone else that knows more posts i jus am not sure about those things hun... gl and hope all turns out ok for your furbaby |
Sorry about your baby. I had 2 yorkies that had mild cases of collapsed trachea and lived to be 13 years old and the collapsed trachea only acted up when they got excited. My last yorkie had a severely collapsed trachea and did have complications that shortened her life. I was told to never use a collar, don't let them get overweight and your vet can prescribe meds to help if it gets really bad. I hope she has a mild case and meds can help. |
I think it is a mild case, since she only coughs for a few seconds even though it happens every day. She seems to be able to rectify it quickly, but I worry about the enlarged heart complication and I have heard stories where people wait too long and their dogs heart is too weak to operate. It really is a dilemma. Greyhame |
