Detailed explanation-1: -Tracheal collapse is a progressive disease of the trachea (windpipe) that causes chronic coughing. This is common in toy and small breed dogs such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians and Toy Poodles that are middle-aged or older.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tracheal collapse is a form of tracheal obstruction caused by flaccidity and flattening of the cartilaginous rings which support the trachea. The condition is most often seen in toy breeds, especially the Yorkshire terrier, with the dogs’ condition gradually worsening over time as the tracheal support deteriorates.
Detailed explanation-3: -Treatment of Tracheal Collapse in Dogs. Most dogs with tracheal collapse can be treated with medications and preventative care, such as weight loss, using a harness for walks, and avoiding airway irritants. Once the vet makes a diagnosis, they may prescribe medication to manage coughing and inflammation.
