Coping With Collapsed Trachea - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Euro · 07-12-2015, 11:25 AM

my baby was diagnosed with collapsed trachea and an enlarged heart. medicine was'nt working and i found the most amazing people, Holly and Marc. They saved my baby and she was instantly better. Their website is called Paw Healers. They will make special formulas for your dog. I was so impressed i begged them to please help my son, who has Graves disease that no DR has been able to help. I cant stress how much they have changed my life. Ask for Marc explain your Baby's diagnosis . He will spend all the time talking to you that you need even if you are hysterical like me. i will also pray for you and your Baby. Please let me know how it went.

Hello Everyone,

I'm a NEWBIE!!!! My name is Kristina, my mini Yorkie (Sterling) 15.5 yrs. old, has Collapsing Trachea. He has had this ALL his life, and has been on Hydrocodone for most of his life as well. However, we have run out of his meds!!! I am DESPERATE! Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions on what I could possible give him to relieve this spastic, repetitious, hacking COUGH?

Any Essential Oil remedies, OTC Cough Meds. . . What should I do? It's 8pm! I MUST find something to tie him over until I can get to the vet tomorrow!!

ANY and/or ALL responses would be GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Both Sterling and I would like to Thank YOU in advance, for ANY input given!!!!!

Kristina

We use hycodan as well for our 15.5 yo Yorkie. I've found that a vaporizer in his sleeping area can help when he is coughing a lot. I have an inexpensive Vicks warm air vaporizer. I also have my dog on a very high dose of hycodan. He takes 1/2 of a 5mg pill every 6 hours. He's 8 lbs. I would talk to your vet about going up on hycodan when he is bad - it's the only thing that worked for us.

Our Zeus has never had the problem and he is 16. Our Hera who was a York mix had it. She was on medicines basically during the Spring when everything was blooming. We found that feeding her small amounts of food several times a day and not allowing her to drink large amounts of water helped her lead a normal life. Out of her 13-.5 years, I can recall once she was rushed to the vet because she could not breath and her tongue turned blue. When she passed, it was not because of this condition. She passed with cancer.
