My dog has collapsed trachea. Is Tussigon the right medicine?

Question

Is tussigon good for a collapsed tracheal or should I try another prescription? Pet's info: Dog | Morkie | Male | neutered | 7.8 lbs

Lotus Altholtz · Accepted Answer

Tussigon (hydrocodone bitartrate) is good for collapsing trachea along with using a harness instead of a collar, as well as keeping Kasey as calm as possible. Daily VetriScience Composure chews (available on chewy.com and petco.com) are highly effective in many dogs to ‘take the edge off’ their excitability in a natural way. Tussigon contains a narcotic with potential sedative effects so not exceeding your veterinarian’s prescribed dose is important. In severe cases of tracheal collapse, surgical correction is an option. Good luck!
