One thing I forgot to mention is that if your dog appears to be hacking or coughing, that is a sign that the trachea has closed off slightly and he/she is trying to breathe again. What I do for my dog then, is gently rub the front of her throat with my hand. I don't know if it actually does anything but she always seems to be better afterwards so it can't hurt to do so.

hi... my vet suggest my pomerian might have a collapsed trachea. and he said that if it isnt to serious its best left alone, is this true? is there anything that i can do to prevent him having having a strong attack.

THANKS for your help cathy .... i just hope that his condition isnt to serious.
