- AMC's Usdan Institute for Animal Health Education event: Dr. Chick Weisse, Staff Doctor & Head of Interventional Radiology at the Animal Medical Center, offers new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of tracheal collapse in pets.
I have a toy poodle with tracheal and bronchial collapse. She turned 16 on November 6th. She has been on Theophylline and Hydrocodone for about six years. We moved from TX to NE in 2021. Tiffany missed her human and doggie friends and lost two pounds. Specifically, she went from 9 pounds to 7.5 pounds. I used to give her medication twice a day. Now I usually give her the medication only once a day. Sometimes she plays like a puppy, but not often. Never does she gag anymore. I'm glad Tiffany has not failed on medications. I didn't notice the mention of theophylline in your presentation. Theophylline seemed to really help.
Magnificent scientific explanation..
I just lost my 14.5 year old Yorkie. There’s no doubt in my mind that he had TC. Our Vet never mentioned this even after explaining classic symptoms 😔
😢😭💔
Im so sorry. My vet said it is so rare for a teeth cleaning to cause this and I'm thinking different.
@@kihntagious over inflating the cuff by someone Inexperience from the intubation tube can definitely cause or make TC worse :(
I just lost a 14 1/2 female yorkie and explained classic symptoms and never was heard 😢 I learned I needed an advanced vet from here on out.
I’m sorry for your loss will you resurrect her or him in the future
This was very informative. Thanks for posting this video.
my chihuaha was fine. never had trachael collapse. took her to get her vaccines and started doing it right after.
Thank you for the valuable information. My 14.5 year old long coat Chihuahua just passed away from ARDS and a collapsed trachea. This video was very enlightening.
I’m sorry for your loss...Our little breed dogs stay with us as long as children sometimes...Great blessing...❤️
So sorry for your loss. I have a 13 yo long coat Chi, who has this now, and its awful. He's such a love and we appreciate every day we have with him.
So sorry for your loss, 😭🙏
Thank you for making this video, I think I really need it for my mini pomeranian.
This is. REAL INFO...BASED ON SCIENCE...THANKFULLY THESE VIDEOS ARE OUT
I have to commend you on your superb ability to make this understandable
Thank you so much for such a brilliant presentation.
I'm the one who tells the truth about your dog with collapsing trachea. If you don't get the trachea surgery your dog won't live long. I had a six year old Chihuaua who died two months ago. Their only hope is surgery.
Very insightful
Thank you for your EXCELLENT presentation. I lost my beautiful 12 year old female bichpoo
2 weeks ago from Dynamic Trachea and Bronchial collapse. At first her vet said she had congestive heart failure and put her on Vetmedin, furosemide, Trazadone, Enalapril and eventually on Hydrocode/homatropine. Her vet ordered
X-rays and the report showed moderate left heart enlargement, consistent with mitral valve insufficiency, but no signs of congestive heart failure. Between February and March my dog had 3 episodes of acute respiratory distress. Your presentation really helped me to understand my dog’s condition with a collapsed trachea and bronchi and the anatomy of the trachea, lungs, the bronchial branches, etc. My dog couldn’t drink water without coughing. From birth she always would cough after drinking water and as she got older her illness got worse especially in the end. Sadly I had to have my beautiful dog euthanized. She was really suffering from the trachea and bronchial collapse. Moving forward I will read about the various health issues that dogs inherit or are born with BEFORE deciding on which pet to adopt. Thanks again!!
My chihuahua had to be put down because of collapsed trachea he had it a long time and in the end he stopped coughing and just panted but couldn't breathe anymore so I had to put him down
It broke my heart
I'm so sorry!!🐾💔🐾
Excellent presentation. I had a very old Yokie that pass away from Trachea collapse. Now my old Chi has developed the same condition. It sucks but you deal with what you got because you care.
May I ask you how he died, or how did you know when it was time? Thank you
Fantastic video... a must watch if your dog has Collapsing Trachea

Even if you have to take out a loan or borrow money, the surgery is the only hope. Don't take chances with your baby.

Fantastic medical presentation. To the rude people out there go sit down.
Great job! How long did Prince live after the stent placement?
My pomeranian Biscuit 13/half has Collapsed Trachea and it's getting worse .
She had a big breathing episode tonight and this breaks my heart seeing her struggling .
Would it be possible to detect a trachea collapse on a Shih Tzu poppy, 9 weeks old, showing symptoms as described by your lecture.
This is our case. We all are suffering.
I wish I could just ask this awesome doctor a question. I have a nearly 15 year old pocket beagle. She was just diagnosed with a collapsed trachea last week, but she has had issues swallowing water for a couple of years. I think she had this trachea issue for longer than the doctor knows, but I was told she was just drinking water too fast. So I don’t know for sure how long she has had this condition. At the same time last week, after a X-ray and bloodwork, we found out about the trachea issue and that she has an enlarged liver and the beginning stages of kidney failure. She also has degenerative disc disease and dementia. I am just starting to treat her issues since I just found out about them. I am just concerned about how long she can be kept medicated at her age and how long before I need to consider the bad thing. I am returning to the vet tomorrow and of course will ask her these things, but once I talk to her, should I consider a second opinion or just keep her comfortable as possible, considering her conditions and age. Her quality of life is still pretty good, but she does have the horrific cough…a lot and is not always mentally well. Can’t really ask my vet if I should seek a second opinion. I have lost sleep over this. Pocket beagles life spans are 9-15 years.
I'm getting a second opinion tomorrow. My vet said my dog had stage 3 heart failure. Wrong... the cardiologist said no. And she was who saw the collapsed trachea on the xray my vet took 5 weeks ago! I'm not waiting around. Have a second opinion tomorrow and am looking across the state for a specialist in this area. Heck I might see about going to NY. People who know what they're talking about. My dingus vet just sent paperwork to do surgery after I said no. The cardiologist said she needs diagnostics done pronto. Just like this doctor said there are many varieties. I understand co morbidly as my girl has a heart murmur. If you trust your vet great but most don't have the extra credentials for this and are guessing.....good luck 🍀
Hello, I know this might be a little late but, I have a small dog, and he was diagnosed with a heart murmur about 3-4 months ago he is on meds and like your dogs they did x-rays and also determined he also a collapsed trachea, and now he coughs he is a little older @ 12. Like you I’ve been worried for him and the vet answers also rub me the wrong way, sounds like I should get a second opinion. The only Obstacle is also not rich, and the only way I was able to afford x-rays and other expensive procedures is I have a payment plan that covers a huge proportion of vet visits. I guess your video gave a me hope he lives another 5-7 years
My dog is 1 year and 3 months and they saw in a X-ray that he has mild collapsed trachea. I am devastated as he is so young and I know that I will have to face this problem sooner or later in the future.

My dog exhibited symptoms at just a couple yrs old. The symptoms came mostly at night. Now she has them anytime day or night. It is really starting to become an issue. She is about to be 7. Im giving her soms honey see how well that helps. She just had a teeth cleaning. I thought it was a tooth infection causing the issues lately as she was making chew actions when no food was in the mouth. She is coughing and retching so I think its time to have xrays and a diagnoses official.

What can I do to prevent my dogs coughing? We were told that she has a collapsing trachea a few years ago. She now coughs when she lies in a certain position or we carry her a certain way.
She is 14, and I would rather not have her go through surgery.
Please do respond. I really need your help.
My yorkie had a trachea problems and he was 13 and he had surgery and died 7mounths later so the surgery did not help him
So if I Heard you correctly the honking sound coming from my dog is his tracheal disease?
@@susiearviso3032 Hi there Susie I noticed that my dog isn't honking often and he plays a lot he doesn't just lay around like something wrong I think it's allergies. He doesn't have problems breathing or eating and drinking. So what do you think about it?
my dog gets excited and passes out. no murmur heart sounds good. they dont know why.
Thank you for the excellent information ! My 14 year old pug was diagnosed with trachea collapse this week - cough with gasp began 8-22 no diagnosis then one month without any coughing and felt a miracle occurred ! Returned from air conditioned Manhattan apt last week weather hot to my home cold weather NY forced hot air, dust, and within 3 days Molly developed intense goose cough entire body spasms all day night - ER diagnosis trachea collapse and two new vets. It’s been a week today started hydrocone improved still cough but not loud goose, on Doxy, and bronchiolator pill (I think you mentioned you were going to discuss this med) I’m in NY and would like to bring my Molly in for visit with you - what Is phone number and location ? It has been one week of horror that seems to be improving a little past two days with hydrocone - both of us very minimal sleep a week - thank you

What humidifier do you recommend? What other remedies can help
Thank you
I wished they could used more advanced methods to strengthen or regenerate the cartilage of the trachea. Maybe by using lasers or radio frequency or stem cells. I don’t like the current methods of stents.
@@susiearviso3032what about bp157 or tb500
That being said money is key. I'm old on fixed income. Should Euthanasia be a consideration?
"I hope there is a subtitle that can help foreigners learn."
Can a collapse. ,..be caused by. Irresponsible vet...choke holding the dog?? Injuries ,,accidental..or deliberate
what about groomers, wondering if they do that
Or too many vaccines.
Can you use CBD oil to relax them. My dog coughs a lot when he gets excited. He is 9 lb. We can’t even play tossing a ball with him. We get company here it comes. Any excitement. He coughs less without excitement.
Can lasix help collapsing trachea at all ?lasix also has some bronchodilator effects I hear .

My 13 year old shih alpha is non stop gagging/coughing. Probably would be an 8. Bottom
Homie was ready to trade his ass cheeks for a new laser pointer. He was 4 breaths shy of succumbing to trachea collapse himself!

Collapsing trachea, can sometimes with strengthening the cartilage with natural remedies and eliminating some causes, depending on the cause.
But most classic vets are a nightmare in knowledge.

Hello , please help of what remedies can help?
Thank you
I have developed a caugh syrup that strengthens
Cartledge at the same time it soothes the throat
As it eases the cough . My cough syrup can prolong the life of your dog that has tracheal collapse. I have been using my cough syrup since 2018 and it has prolong the life of my 12 year old Pomeranian and she is still alive today and I give it to her everyday it works great and does not cost very much I do not have it on the market but it should be utilized because it's a good strong medicine that works wonders. I give it to as many people as I run into that have small dogs for free.
I need your help. Could I please have the recipe?
Please post the recipe or how we can get it. TIA.
What is the cough medicine? Receipe?
Why leave a comment like that and not leave the recipe or a way for readers to get the cough syrup???
First, always check with several holistic veterinarians on CZcams like Karen Becker or Andruw Jones or any other you can find. They will not include ingredients that cause side effects. Do not use any ingredients that your pets or you are not allergic to. You must research every single ingredient for the health of your pet and you.
Trachea collapse is just what it is named after the trachea is made of cartilage. When we get older our body wears out if we need to consume things that will keep up the strength of the body preventing things like arthritis. When you buy remedies for pets you don't really know what's in them because the pets can't tell you that they feel better or worse and there is no governing agent to regulate them. So I do it myself. I base my ingredients on what has worked with others like Karen Becker and Andrew Jones on CZcams. Find out first-hand. Pull up CZcams put in the search trachea collapse Becker. The first thing she says is her name and then goes into explaining what you have searched for. Do the same for Andruw Jones. You should First Look up"food Becker" & food Jones" to see if the kind of food you're feeding your pet is hazardous to their health. For pets and people Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, three of the main ingredients to strengthen cartilage, look it up so you know first hand. Any and all kibble will destroy health.
The MC is a typical administrator control freak.
Would not let Dr. Weiss answer audience questions.
My girl had trachea collapse and she was honking like a goose. I shouldn't have passed her around to the homies 🥴
Lmfao
