Dog tracheal stenosis

Some breeds of dogs are prone to tracheal collapse due to abnormal tracheal cartilage structure, and the tracheal cavity is relatively narrow. In addition, obese dogs or dogs with chronic respiratory diseases are also prone to tracheal collapse.

Tracheal collapse is more likely to occur in small dogs, such as Bomei, Chihuahua and Marzis.

Trachea can be divided into cervical trachea and intrathoracic trachea. Tracheal stenosis caused by abnormal structure of any part or external factors (such as tumors) is collectively called tracheal collapse.

If it is congenital tracheal stenosis, it is usually a structural problem. Generally, we can only pay more attention to the changes of weather and ambient temperature in peacetime. The cold time will affect, and there may be a cough. Can only take medicine to control, give some tracheal dilators.

I suggest that you don't use collars, leashes or dog vests, and don't pull the rope hard. Usually, you should go to the hospital in time if you can't breathe.

If a dog is diagnosed with tracheal stenosis, it usually needs to pay attention to the following aspects:

First, try to reduce the dog's strenuous activities in the outdoor environment, and avoid the tracheal stenosis affecting the breathing after the dog exercises.

Second, at home, try to train dogs to keep a stable mood when their owners come home. Being too excited can cause shortness of breath and lead to suffocation of dogs.
