yes the tubing can cause irritation as it is stated any time you put a dog under. The dentist we use goes over risks of a dog going under and trachea is one thing they discuss before putting them under as they did with dd and demi. My demi and dd came out of anesthesia and did not hack once after going under nor did dex for plasma transfusion but i did ask with demi and dd and they assured me they have all sized tubes but this was a specialist. People should not be afraid they should be educated though so they are comfortable and aware The more videos the better for comparison and you can always do a search on youtube.com for things as well as that is helpful and posting videos and pics of your particular dog can also help others who have dealt with it like Linda be able to help you further | |

| because the dog was fine before going under anesthesia then after was honking and also ended up getting a heart condition as well - went to the top cardiologist in vegas and california and due to ct and heart and it being so bad just had to put her down a month ago and was devastated - I asked when did this all start and she said after she was put under for her skin biopsy --- so what do you think? which by the way the maltese had allergies and skin biopsy did nothing to help so probably should not have been done to begin with Last edited by dwerten; 04-18-2010 at 01:01 PM. |

That is VERY common. Dogs with an already weakened trachea that have never shown symptoms go under anesthesia and then, after surgery, they have symptoms. As for the videos....the reason I posted NEW ones instead of those older ones was because someone mentioned their dog honking when it is doing a reverse sneeze. I just think they are better examples is all...I have lived with both and am so familiar. People who have never heard a CT dog are often startled when they do. It is so hard to explain. The sounds are SO different....and there is no honking during a reverse sneeze. I see that mentioned a lot and wanted to show the real difference.

there is a yahoogroup called collapsed trachea on yahoogroups.com for information and i would never recommend surgery for these dogs as the success rate is not good | |

It is an awful condition. I have had three of them and have lost them all. I will say though, that they were older. They can usually be managed for some time...and I don't think you see it as much in younger pups.

| I did not know the other was in there...I searched for it because I knew it was around....and have actually used it. It was only today that I really looked at them. It is just that I felt there is a more distinct honk in the one I posted. I will PM her.

I lost three very close together at the end of the year. The third was my CT boy and it was sudden...although he really had been very ill. The problem with CT is that it can lull you into thinking you have it controlled and then, out of nowhere, just go terribly bad. I would never turn a pupster away that had it, but I can tell you that I really do not want another one. It is heart wrenching and does take its toll on you.
