I think I know how Prince may have gotten CT... I read online that the tube which is used to administer anesthesia for teeth cleaning and cause the trachea to collapse!!!!!!!:eek::mad: Has anyone else heard that? Prince had his teeth cleaned about two years ago, and did not have CT. Now he does. His grandparents, parents, nor brother has it. I've met all of them, and the breeder is a neighbor of my mom's. I hate that he has this.:( |

well it is a very strong possibility :( my friends maltese had a growth removed under anesthesia and after had ct . I use a board certified dentist and made sure they use cat tube or smaller with mine due to reading about this sadly :( but prior to knowing this when mine were spay and neutered had no idea about all this so never asked :( Now i make sure all safety precautions are used prior to them going under and go to specialists and pay more to be extra careful :( |

Human hospitals are the same...many careless accidents happen there as well.:( |
I always thought that my yorkie who passed away in November had something go wrong with his trachea after he had surgery for his neuter/teeth removal. I had no proof, but his breathing and his honking were never the same after that surgery. |
I would have never imagined that this could be so dangerous. Does anybody know how common this is? Any statistics? Does this have to do with the size of the tube used or the size of our yorkies? |

Prince has some really rough days, and some really great days, and takes meds daily. We just have to monitor his activities, and his environment to keep him from having severe wheezing attacks. It's so sad to see him struggling to breathe. I try to let him do some fun "doggy" things, but in moderation. Yesterday was a good day and I'm praying today will be, as well. So far he is doing fine.:) Thank you, red98vett, for asking about Prince.:) |
What are the symptoms of a collapsed trachea?? Betty Boop sounds like she is honking and can't catch her breath at times....probably once a day she does this. She sticks her head in my husband's work boot and she coughs. Okay.....not from the smell! LOL From reading this post, it makes me wonder if she has a collapsed trachea. She has only had one surgery (spay and teeth pulling at the same time). |
My Wee Ted had major nose surgery two months ago to remove a mast tumor at the back of his nose that they think was caused by inflammation. It's been two months and I thought by now he'd be healed; yet he's still on steroids because when he's not his snorting and reverrse sneezing are so bad. I thought it was part of the recovery process; yet reading this I now wonder if his trachea has been damaged as he was put under anethesia twice prior to the surgery for x rays and ct and then again for the actual surgery. It saddens me to think in order to solve one problem we've created another. I too feel helpless when he stands there struggling for air. Keeping his excitement level down is hard. He can't even enjoy a daily homecoming cause he starts struggling from the excitement. Prayers to all fuzzy butts suffering from this xo |
Amazing what you read and learn here on this site. I am sorry so many of your babies are suffering from CT. It's scary and heartbreaking to watch a dog gasping for breath. Buddy does this once in awhile. When he get's overly excited. I read that blowing air into the dog's nose when he get's like this does help. I've been doing that when Buddy get's an attack, not sure but I think it does help him. He didn't have this as a baby it seemed to appear around 3ys. He's never had surgery except for being neutered at 6mos. |
