About two years ago, I adopted a Chihuahua with a collapsing trachea cough. I started giving him Cosequin, which is a cartilage builder. It is sold over-the-counter and has dosage instructions on the bottle. It took about a month or two to notice a difference in his coughing but after about a year he had stopped coughing altogether. I still give him Cosequin and he is still doing great, with no coughing.
I had one dog dying of this and now her daughter suffering from it. I would say this - it is horrible and at the same time, life. The old dog died in my arms of it when she suffocated. Completely frightening and horrendous but I can think of worse. She panted, laid down and went unconscious very, very fast. We never made it to the vet. If it happens again I will not even try to get there just hold my dog, pet her and talk to her as she goes. Mamma dog was 15 years and seven months when she died and her daughter is now 15 years and six months. I wished some veterinarian could have told me to begin with how to strengthen cartilage so that we could have done it the entire dog life. Keep strong all you people with dogs with this problem.
There is a tea called Throat Coat with slippery elm, licorice, etc. I mix it with honey and let it cool. My question is - I wonder if GERD plays a role?
Best information I’ve heard in all my research on this. Thank you, doctor 🙏
The anxiety and restlessness that this brings to the animal causes it great distress at times no matter what you use it doesn't always work. But thank God that all animals do go to heaven.
Great job! Nice to have a lot of information in one place.
This was the best explanation that I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much.
Good information. Well spoken and knowledgeable.
Thank you for this information, this is very helpful and we will be discussing with our vet immediately.
Thank you for this video, priceless info
Wow, great information, so professionally presented, thank you doctor, nice job.
Amazing! Very helpful and informative. Thank you!
Concise indepth information. Thank you very much.
I don’t know much but I can tell your a wonderful beautiful person. Thank you for these detailed informative videos.
4:35
Dogs who’s condition can be successful medical management 12:00
If your dog has a collapsing trachea her distress can become so severe that can turn blue & collapse. If your dog have severe distress is an medical emergency needs to be taken to the nearest clinic 12:13
The BEST OPTION is to slowdown the progression of the desease by being proactive - 12:34 which means beginning a cartilage support protocol & high risk breathes as early as possible - 12:45 STARTING a cartilage support protocol at 3 years of age is one way to help prevent trachea cartilage DETERIORATION - 12:56 An other option is to ADDRESSING the problem immediately when you very first noticing the symptoms before progression of the desease occurs, that’s a great way TO AVOID THE SEVERE DEGENERATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Amazing compilation, thank you for taking the time to put it together, would it be possible to detail cartilage repair protocol, currently we live in an underdeveloped country and we have to use children medication, I'd say my older yorkie is a stage 3 collapse trachea :(
Thank you so much for this! I feel so much better having heard your excellent explanations and suggestions. Scary episodes watching my dog struggle. He’s 3 now, so I hope we’ve caught this early and can manage preventively.
Any update on your baby? My 2.5 year old Pitbull just got diagnosed with this as well as an Enlarged heart. The Vet put him on some medication that he will be taking for the next week but after that my wife and I are looking for natural remedies to reduce inflammation and strengthen the cartilage in his esophagus.
@@richpiano2465 He’s doing very well, thank you! The supplement really seems to work well for him. I don’t need to use it every day, only when/if he’s having an episode. I use for a few days then. I guess it depends on severity. I also find calming him petting, etc. during helps ALOT. Hope your pup fares well, sounds like he’s in good hands. Chewy.com was cheaper also-plus coupon. Amazon was 2X $
What medicine did you give your dog? Thx
@@kaetyeannej846which supplement please
Stress triggers it...
Thank You so much
I start giving my senior Westie cbd treat because he has been wheezing but not coughing. It helps.
Thank you for your knowledge. My 16 year old pitbull started wheezing/gasping (ribs retracting fully in and out) when he eats standing up. He doesn’t do it otherwise or if he eats laying down. He does some panting when he gets excited for his food. His blood work is better than mine. I am going to get a purifier and get him on a cartridge builder ASAP as well as your other recommendations. I just took his collar off and will use his harness now. Thank you so much!
I learned the same. Never ever will I use a collar again. :)
Thank you for the informative video. My cocker spaniel mix has cushing's and had surgery to remove fatty tumors that were impairing his ability to rest and walk. He has developed a cough that sounds like he is inhaling and trying to suck air in through his nose. The vet didn't inspect the trachea but gave medicine for reflux disease as along with the noisy inhaling he is swallowing frequently and positions himself with his chin raised on a pillow. I know the fireplace bothers him - he leaves the room when I start it up and returns when the smoke has dissipated. Question - what were the natural remedies and will they interfere with the Trilostane given him for Cushing's? Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Becker. Lots of great info in this video! My elderly dog was recently diagnosed with early stage heart disease and collapsing trachea, with very few symptoms (yet). I'm going to start some of these natural preventatives that you mention (also for my younger dog!) and hopefully delay the progression of the diseases a bit. Of course, I will consult my vet, too! We've already started on some Cosequin for joint health. And following your book (Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats) has really helped me improve their diet!
Dogs with heart issues may show improvement with hawthorn and coenzyme Q-10.
If I watch this a year ago, my dog will still be alive. She passed this afternoon from this disease and congestive heart failure. Now I want to learn all about this disease. Too late😭
I am so sorry to hear About your loss
i'm really sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss Deborah ❤
Amazing video thank you so much.
What type of food do recommend
very informative. Would have been better if a dog showing the signs of this was shown as well.
Usefull
I think my dog has this I'm stressing omg
the entire transcript is located on the website that she included in her bio (click SHOW MORE) as well as the list of supplements but I've included them here: Glucosamine
, Perna mussel (green lipped clam), Chondroitin, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is an important source of organic sulfur, a main constituent of healthy cartilage, Eggshell membrane,
does all this come in one supplement??
Thank you
My Yorkie is 15 and was doing well until the coughing began. The the coughing got better but she still coughs some. Her symptoms are in her upper throat and her nose. Sounds as though she has a cold and her nose is stopped up. Do you know about this symptoms?
Vet has her on a course. Of prednisone which hasn’t helped much. Can you give me your thoughts?
Thank you. Do you have any updates? What about Glutathione treatments?
Thank you for this video, but it's tough to get down the supplements advised to use . Is there anywhere I can see the list of supplements?
Thank you. ❤️
In the video, you shared that you don’t recommend using a dog collar at all. In that case, where/how might we display/place his municipal license, rabies vaccination tag, and owner contact information?
I have Yorkshireterriers - the mamma dog was 15 years and 8 months when she suffocated to death in my arms. Now her daughter has the same problem. No one is / was overweight. It is just ripping my heart out. I am desperately trying to give her all she needs in meat, vitamins, fats bone and other things. She doesn't eat kibble and dog food in cans. Now she is almost 15 years and I need start give her medicine. Should the CBD oil contain THC or not? I am giving her CBD oil without THC right now.
Does this collapsed trachea lead guitar other health problems??
Pug 14 years old intense goose cough all day night after returning from city and being exposed to many animals while there. Two ER visits xrays diagnosed collapsed trachea, 4 vets, thousands of dollars later, prescribed Hydrocordone, theophylline, doxy, cough tabs, acepromazine sedative and two weeks non stop coughing despite meds - the only thing that helps is when she takes sedative and conks out for short time if she walks etc intense cough - when I hold her upright with her legs down, the coughing immediately stops - two weeks non stop coughing despite treatment, no sleep for her or me two weeks, and cant afford more doctors - I feel no one knows how to help her. How many vets, ERs steroid injections (do nothing) know what to do. None in my area
Do u recommend “Adequan”?
What cartridge dog products are there?
Does this shorten the dogs life span? I believe my dog has it
My 12-year-old sheltie has tracheal collapse. He’s had x-rays bloodwork heart seems to be fine. Right now Vet is recommending He has a half of 5 mg hydrocodone pill twice a day. But he still coughs at times - especially when gets up from lying down. Vet says to use it as needed but he needs it at some point every day! I just wondered if anybody else had used hydrocodone?....
I know this post is a year old but I can tell you I give my Chihuahua hydrocodone. The vet recommended 2 to 3 times a day. I give it to him as needed which is often 1 to 2 times a day but some days he does not need it. His coughing spurts come and go in waves, some weeks he's great others he's not but overall I find the hydrocodone works well for him. He also takes vetmedin for his heart.
thank you very much. Can pulling constantly on collar cause this? and
Yes, use a harness when walking if your dog pulls.
So when this is happening how can I help my dog, it’s scary. Please tell us what to do.
Is there a cure
How much honey with food?
My Chihuahua passed away from collapsing trachea. We had him for 6 years and he was our baby. Our love. These dogs with collapsing trachea eventually die, like mine. He was the love of our life. Smaller dogs who get trachea surgery often die on the operating table. Many don't make it. Dogs that die from trachea collapse suffer a horrible end.
Very informative video. My 3.5 year old Shih tzu is exhibiting the symptoms of tracheal collapse after he was treated for a bacterial infection. What cartilage support product do you recommend, dose, and frequency for a 15 lb. dog? I am giving him organic Tumeric daily, humidification, and he tests a healthy diet.
Update?! This is happening to my yorkie now. After a bacterial infection. I am losing my mind
@@Bvadessa317 me too for my pom this is so scary fux
Where can supplements be bought?
Do some research don't just buy it at any store don't always listen to what you read on the internet either go on TH-cam and look up reviews and what people say and what kind brand and where they get it specially chewies Walmart there's a lot of stores that sell dog food and treats that kill animals you definitely don't want to be buying medicine from them
@@daby8399 eden is a good shop
What is CMO - i just can't hear what the name is which makes it even more difficult to spell and google
@Danny Meeks I think you are absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to find that out!
la mienne est tres jeune elle a seulement 15 mois. C'est terriblement angoissant pour elle et pour moi
I don’t believe in holistic medicine for myself or my dog but otherwise this is good information. I do take CBD however so maybe I can share it with my dog who has been diagnosed with a severe case of this and Cushing’s.
Hi!! I have a 10 week old German Shepard puppy. I’ve seen her cough like this only two times, and both were after i picked her up. But she hasn’t coughed at all unless I pick her up. Is it possible its not a collapsed trachea and maybe pressure that I’m putting on her wrong?
picking the puppy up will put pressure on their trachea. In most dogs, it's usually a sign of a narrow trachea. Ugh my adopted chihuahua has this I suspect.
My mom's Pom was diagnosed with this today....another vet told my mom that it was congenital heart failure causing the cough. Today X-Rays confirmed the trachial collapse....never heard of it until today.
I found out the exact thing this week with my 12 year old pom. It's so sad.
Try cbd treatable.
What to do when your dog has cushings and CT ? Can you give a steroid to a cushings dog?
Me too. My pom is 7 yr old
I love NOT reading through comments under these very helpful videos.
English please? 8:50-9:35??? All I understood was glucosamine, any natural brand names I can buy to help with this? Anyone?

A great website with natural supplements- one called throat gold was highly recommended for collapsing trachea. Hopefully something helps
are beagles on this list
We use stanozolol to treat tracheal collapse. It is a 3 month course and often reverses or vastly improves the degree of collapse. The drug is not known for many negative side effects in dogs (as opposed to humans who take it in large doses to enhance performance) and because it is not a management tool, but an actual treatment, it is just a one course and done thing. Interactions with other drugs (including corticosteroids) is negligible, so they can remain on current meds while starting the treatment, then slowly, one at a time wean off them as they are no longer needed. Since we began using this in the old pugs in our rescue, about 6 years ago, we have not lost a single pug to tracheal collapse. It will not help concurrent similar airway issues, like laryngeal paralysis, elongated soft palate, chronic bronchitis, etc. and it cannot widen a congenitally narrow trachea, common in yorkies and some other breeds, but it DOES wonders for a true collapsed trachea in most dogs.
Hi Lisa, I have some questions I would like to ask you. How can I get in toch with you? Thanks, Nadia
Wow thanks for
Your input. I’m going to investigate this
No comment
CBD and m turmeric and acupuncture and air purifier for ur dog... sounds like quackery to me what is the evidence behind CBD for tracheal collapse in dogs....
I believe it calms them down
search! Talks way too fast to be understood especially by older people, Slow Down.
Just a tip. You can slow down the speed of videos by going to the triple dot drop menu... select PLAYBACK SPEED. You can choose how quickly the video plays. 😊
can you list these product ssomehwere dude? you literally robot mouth'd like 69 million medicines and most of us don't even know how to spell it wtf
Grab a pen and paper if you care
so also mention not to use a collar duh.
She did mention that at 8 minutes or so duh
Go get some lubricants
Please do not buy a dog from a breeder, they are the leading cause for why so many dogs have major health issues. Get a dog from a rescue shelter since we have more than enough dogs that need homes and it's an inaccurate statement to say that these dogs are more predisposed to health conditions. You really can't say that over picking a dog from a breeder. Think of those in need and not about contributing to the problem.
Danny Meeks it’s actually crazy that you think anyone would read that long of comment and care haha.
All dogs need loving forever homes from a breeder or a shelter
@@helenfrimerman4281 no, if you buy from a breeder then the crisis of homeless dogs continues.
Lose the extra weight! I use Burt’s bee’s children’s cough syrup which is honey with slippery elm. You can also mix honey with warm water. Suringe
