Question

Would my dog have symptoms every day if he has a mild case of collapsed treacha? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 months and 12 days old | 16 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Usually dogs with collapsed trachea will show signs (honking cough, possible breathing problems, eating, drinking, tracheal irritants (smoke or dust), obesity, and hot and humid weather.) after exercise, or excitement or jumping up and down. Treatment consists of giving cough suppressants, bronchodilators, corticosteroids to control inflammation, and/or antibiotics. In obese patients, weight loss helps decrease respiratory effort. In severe cases surgery is needed.
