Collapsed Tracheas Are They Inherited From Parents?? Hello I'm trying to learn all I can about Yorkee's and I've read some post on here where they are talking about Collapsed Tracheas. My question is are they Inherited from their parents or just something that happens in Yorkees and U don't know they have it until it happens?? Can anyone tell me? Thanks So Very Much & Hugs, Lee & Babies :aimeeyork Tiffanie "Tiffy" Ranae: :aimeeyork http://www.dogster.com/?316369 :aimeeyork Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt: :aimeeyork [url]http://www.dogster.com/?316383 |
As far as I know, collapsed tracheas are not inherited, that is why they say in most contracts that collapsed tracheas and luxtating patellas are not covered because they can happen due to the enviroment. |
I'll post this here, too, then.:) TRACHEA COLLAPSE There can be a weakness in the trachea and if it collapses the dog cannot breathe. Emergency surgery and inserting plastic devices or coils can be done in some cases to keep the dog alive. This can be caused by severe hacking from a cold or it can be a congenital thing. Symptoms -- A loud honking, dry cough. Gasping, unable to breath. http://www.shooterdog.com/alexfaq3.htm |
I have a few pictures of the rings in the throat and what happens when they collapse here on my site http://yorkieviews.com/trachea.htm . There are several things that can cause a collapsed trachea, one that I always warn against is using a collar when walking your small dog. The pressure on the throat can contribute to causing a trachea collapse. |
