I travel lot with my mom and dad, I am originally from cool weather, San Francisco, CA but we moved to Williamsurg, VA, where it is HOT!! I first had allergies or so we thought. This past summer was very bad for me, I got very tired and didn't know why I was always hinking like a " G O O S E", yes you read that correctly, I was always coughing, hacking and honking, when I got excited, went outside or just hung out. In September 07, mom took to me to see, " white coat" aka doggie doctor. Mom was told I had a Collapse Trachea , I was coughing and I was always very tired just trying to breathe Mom didn her research and contacted all the really smart yorkies on here yorkie egroups at Yahoo groups, and there, she got great advise, so we went to see the BEST vets at Tennessee University. I was evaluated (Jan. 24 & 25) and the doctors put in a stent in my trachea. The University of Tennessee Small Animal clinic was awesome.

Mom and I hope to put up a webpage with answers to questions, I wish had gotten answerd, when we were reasearching this illness. I am still recovering and hope tobe back to my normal routine. Please email me is you, have gone the endoscopy and had a stent put in. We would like to read, you are doing. Email me, if you have any useful information, we can add to our Collapse Trachea D'tails webpage. Woof!!
