Thanks!!

The vet did not tell me to do it. I have read on different forums and articles that have said it helps with reverse sneezing. Stroking their necks is another suggestion. That doesn't work for Zoe. Forcing her mouth open has stopped it before, but not every time. I have tried plugging her nose before but its hard for me to, because she starts moving around, but this time she let me do and it stopped the spasms right in its tracks! I haven't had the opportunity to try it again because she hasn't done it since, but I will do it again next time, whether she is complient or not!

I can't wait to get the harness, so we can go on walks!

My vet also suggested stroking his neck. That didn't work for me either. I'll try the plugging the nose thing next time. Thanks so much for updating your thread! I'll keep Zoe in my thoughts & hope that she continues to improve!

Hey everyone! So my little Miley (3 1/2 yrs/4.8 pounds) went in for a dental cleaning today & shortly after I dropped my little girl off, I got a call from my vet saying they refused to operate on her or give her anesthesia for the fear of her not waking back up because she has abnormal breathing. I've always been aware of her snorting and coughing and honking noises but when I addressed it to the vets previously, they acted as if nothing was wrong. After doing research it sounds like my little one has a Collapsed Trachea. She has an apt for X-rays Friday but just thinking about her being diagnosed with this makes my heart ache. She is my little girl, don't know what I would do without her. Miley was also diagnosed with epilepsy about a month ago. She was purchased from a pet store & probably from a puppy mill. If anyone has any positive info they can provide I would appreciate it so much. Also she sounds constantly congested. Please keep Miley bear in your prayers for me.
