My chihuahua puppy coughs when running. Is it collapsed trachea?

Question

I have a 5 months old chihuahua. He always coughs when he is running really fast but then after he calms down he is fine. Can it be collapsed trachea? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 13 days old | 3 lbs

A collapsing trachea would be high on the list of possible causes for this, especially since this is only happening during extrenuous activity. Have your vet take a look at him if it gets any worse for an x-ray to confirm and then medications to help treat it. Here is more information on this condition in dogs. --> https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951968 Thanks for visiting Petcoach. Take care.
