Kennel cough or collapsed trachea? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

You should try and get a second opinion! Don't lose hope!! They told me my dog looked terrible and she may not make it! Although we are still struggling she looks a lot better and now there is hope that we will put all of this behind us!! My vet also told me she might have a heart murmur but with her follow-up appt's we are happy to say she doesn't! So don't lose hope!!!

Be strong and I hope that soon you will have all of this behind you and I hope your dog grows to be a very healthy dog!

Sending prayers your way!

It's just we're starting to thing it's CT. He basically only coughs when he gets excited which is one of the symptoms of CT.

That can be easily controlled with hydrocodone twice a day. No need for radical surgeries. Many dogs live long healthy lives with ct.

My puppy tends to cough a lot when she is excited and she had a really hard time breathing at first!! Get a second opinion if you can!! Did you see the vid I posted??? My dog did the same thing it just doesn't sound the same because my dog is smaller!! I pray that all of this is behind you soon. Please let us know how things go!

How's your fur baby doing?

Update: I think this new medicine is actually working! Vet said give it 10 days, and it's been 10 today and he coughs maybe 3-4 times a day! Way better than he was. He's been much more happy and playful. God must've been answering my prayers!

It's so nice to see these little guys healthy and happy.

hi, how's your baby doing? I just posted about my little guy coughing forever. Started at 3 months and finally kicked it a month later with azithromycin. His X-rays showed NOTHING! now it's been a month since it cleared up and he's slowly starting to cough again.. I'm concerned! What was the last thing your vet prescribed??

XenaLee · 07-12-2015, 01:38 PM

I'm happy to hear that he's better!!

Toby44 · 07-12-2015, 01:42 PM

Thank you xena. Hope your pup can overcome what she has!

Late update: Toby finally stopped coughing for good about a week and a half ago. In July, he got a shot into his lungs and it slowly cured him! These little guys are strong, he had that terrible cough for months!
