Although Zada's breathing has been silent today, it's still labored, but I can't believe the difference. Must surly be the prednisone. The inhaler was only used first thing this morning and haven't had to use it since. She was so worn out from not being able to breathe very well and for so long that now all she wants to do is snooze and I'm letting her have all the quiet snoozes she wants. The other girls are still on the quiet side and keeping an eye on Zada. Jilli Ann is a bit worried still and now brings Zada her own favorite toys to try and get her to play. It's so wonderful to watch these girls and how they deal with this. I'm taking lessons from them if you can believe that. Me crying all the time wasn't doing Zada any good, but today was the first time I haven't had to pretend to be calm and happy. It's been such a great day for all of us and I am positive all your thoughts and prayers are working their miracle's. God has listened to everyone who prayed and is helping my little girl. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!! I hope she continues to do well, but if she doesn't, I will ask the Dr. Ortega in Ventura, if she would let Zada try the Lomotil. I'm so happy this local Vet. is working and taking advice from Dr. Ortega. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mendez and Dr. White. Both girls are fantastic in the way they care so much about animals. Dr. White has a Yorkie that looks like Zada too.
I will continue to update you all, and I will continue my prayers for Zada and for all of you who have poured out your hearts, advice and prayers, and your own fur kids. I can't say enough about how wonderful you all are!!

I am so thankful that Zada has had a restful day!!! Prayers are being answered for this sweet little girl:) I will continue to keep Zada in my prayers for continued improvement.

So glad you both are having a better day! Keeping you and Zada in my thoughts and prayers for many more better days...

I'm so glad you and Zada have had a peaceful day.:)

Thank God for peace and rest for both of you, during this struggle....my prayer continues for this.

Keeping up the good thoughts for you! Good she had a calm day.

Thinking of you and Zada

So glad to hear the good news! We will continue to pray for little Zada.

Hi....I continue to pray for your little one. All of our beautiful babies deserve the best stress-free life and that's what I'm praying for. Both my yorkies have collasing trachea but apparently must not be nearly as bad as other dogs. Just curious...is there a surgery that can be done for this? My vet mentioned it to me way back when b/c I thought surely I'd have issues with my babies tracheas but so far they have been OK. Since I have no experience with this, I'm sure everyone here has great advice about it...

wishing sweet zada more good days! continued prayers... glad to see that the meds are helping!!!

She seems more subdued today than normal. She isn't wheezing at all, but the medication must be responsible for her just laying around all day. Normally she follows me around the house, or if she hears me sitting down in this noisy desk chair, she will come on up and lay in one of the doggie beds while I'm on the computer, but today she just doesn't want to move around much. She ate her breakfast, so I hope she eats her dinner too.

I imagine the medication has her subdued. I will keep her in my prayers. I know you miss her following you. I would.

Here's hoping and praying that medication is working and she's just resting after her awful efforts to breathe. My prayers are said several times a day for each of the little ones and human's in need of them on YT and little Zada is always included since your OP.

She had cabbage, carrots & one tiny potato for dinner and loved it. Probably thought she was eating the corned beef since they were all cooked together. At least she's eating, but she certainly isn't spry. Don't know what to think and am wondering what will happen once she's not taking the medication. I try not to worry, but that's impossible. I just keep praying.
