I am so sorry to hear your pom baby, Roxy has this, glad the stent helped. My Papillon, Chloe's collapse was too deep in her chest so back in early 2000 they didn't do that surgery as it was not usually sucessful for toy dogs. We managed it with Nature's Way Sambucus cough syrup, seasonal antihistamines as her allergies made it worse, & occassionally a bronchiodialator, Theophylline which helped her get more oxygen in her lungs. She lived to almost 19 years for which I am most grateful!
Last night my beloved Roxy was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She's back at the Sage clinic who treated her collapsed trachea. She will stay over night for tests, more blood work, and to spend lots of time in an oxygen tent. Send some good vibes her way please.
Whenever my Pom did this, I immediately put her in front of a large floor fan. The forced air/forced oxygen cleared up the problem and added some years to a life sadly cut short by acute diabetes. Her name was Sweetie and she lived 11.7 years.
Hi there, My dog had the same problem, he was a maltese with a horrible collapsing trachea. He eventually was put to sleep because there was nothing else we could have done for him; he was old and it was just worsening. I'm glad to see that your dog is feeling much better.
My Pomeranian had this when he was younger. We used the medicine called throat gold and after giving him very little he would stop doing this within a minute. It’s almost miraculous how well it works. Kinda pricey like $50 a bottle but worth every penny. We used it for several months now years later he doesn’t rarely ever do this anymore. It’s common for poms though, I think throat gold healed him.
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm very familiar w/ reverse sneeze, but this totally helped distinguish between a collapse and the sneeze in a new dog we have. His sneeze sounded different from the ones I heard before, but nothing like this cough, thank goodness! I hope your Pom is doing great!
URGH... this is saddening. It seems more of a "my dog is also suffering too" post. My poor little buddy has always had this, but its getting worse and I think it's time to look into the surgery. Hope all your dogs get better. POLMS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dog has a collapsed trachea as well. He was diagnosed at age 4. He's been on meds ever since with success. He's 10 now and doing well. He gets a collapsed a collapsed trachea elixer everyday 3x a day and we have a cough suppressant 1x a day but he can have it more if needed. He also takes half a tab of prednisone every other day. Been doing this for 5 years now. He's a 9lbs chihuahua. We discussed the tracheal stent but the vets advised me not to do it. I'm very curious how that surgery turned out for your pup. Please let me know as it will be my only other option when it collapses further. Thanks.
When he starts coughing/wheezing... try holding him up with your 2 hands behind his front paws & put his face in front of a table fan. It stops mine from having an attack. The more they cough, the worse the trachea gets. Somehow the air helps them breathe.
My vet also advised blowing a quick puff of air into their face, the vet said it was related to the soft pallet collapsing and doing that helps the air passage re open.
lianasantarossa Can you tell me what a "collapsed trachea elixer" is please? Also what brand of cough suppressant you are using? And what is the does size of the tablet that you are giving your Pom?
Our pom literally just passed away abd sounds like he had a similar issue vet prescribed a pump that didnt do much smh Rip BAM BAM.. we gonna miss ya buddy😢
My Pomeranian has this he was a rescue and when we first got him he would do it only when he got excited! Now he does it all the time I’m worried he is my world and I don’t want him to get any worse! He wakes me up in the night he does it to the point he is still moving but no sound is coming out I’m so scared!
my pom is 10 years old and has always used a harness,,he has the coughing and gaging pretty bad,vet says he has enlarged heart pressing against his trachea,,prescribed two kinds of meds but did not help.
i have a pomarien too and he is 15 yrs old and he started to couph like yours did about a month aga and i am on a very tight money problem and i am not sure what do for him i had him so long i don't want to loose him but money is so tight and i feel bad for him and i am not sure what i can do and i don't want to be a bad animal lover cause he is apart of the family and i don't want to loose him if any help i would be very happy thank you
Hello, My baby Stewie is 3 years old and we adopted him about 3 months or so ago. He just recently started hacking and I wasn't sure what it was. Immediately, I took him to the vet and he was sure that he has a collapsing trachea. It saddens me very much to hear him cough like this throughout the day. There isn't much they could do because it's not a severe case so they prescribed him medication. Daily we must give him a cough suppressant and also antibiotic and another pill which I'm not to
how much Lasix would i give to my Pom? she is getting worse in the last couple weeks and i have some 20 mg of furosemide..I would like to try this and see if it helps her,, I feel so bad for her.. I have breathing issues so i can so relate.
I was thinking about stent surgery as well. But after reading this, “OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes following endoluminal stent placement for treatment of tracheal collapse (TC) in dogs. DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested observational study. ANIMALS 75 dogs that underwent endoluminal placement of a self-expanding metallic stent to treat TC between September 2009 and August 2015. PROCEDURES Medical records were reviewed to collect data on dog characteristics, clinical signs, TC type, diagnostic test results, peri- and postoperative complications, and outcomes. Complication rates and survival times and rates were compared between various groups. RESULTS The 75 dogs received 119 stents (56% [42/75] received 1 stent and 44% [33/75] received ≥ 2 stents). Thirty-eight (51%) dogs had a malformation type of TC, and 37 (49%) had the traditional type. Ninety-three percent (70/75) of dogs survived to hospital discharge. Median survival time was 1,005 days. Improvement in goose-honking or raspy breathing (89% [42/47]) and dyspnea (84% [43/51]) was reported at final follow-up examination. Major complications requiring additional stent placement procedures occurred in 47% (33/70) of dogs over the follow-up period; stent fracture and tissue ingrowth were the most common types. Male dogs and younger dogs had a significantly longer survival time than other dogs. Mainstem bronchial collapse at the time of stent placement had no significant association with outcome. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Endoluminal stent placement provided a high survival rate for dogs with TC, even those with severe clinical signs. This information, as well as the information on potential complications, should be useful for advising owners of affected dogs,” I decided not too.
Sounds and looks more like a reverse sneezing attack. It's very scary watching your dog go through that. I experienced this last night with my 7 month old shih tzu and have not stopped googling it since. I'm going to make a vet appointment bc if it's something other then reverse sneezing it could possibly get worse and I don't want that 😦
@TheOnlystefynie I have a pom too, and she coughs a lot too. We're not sure what causes it. It's not a collapsed trachea, her heart is fine despite her being 11, and I worry for her a lot. I'm glad Roxy is okay. :)
my Pomeranian has this but my vet did say anything about his trachea collapsing? However, before I brought him to his vet, I did my research. I am still worried my pom might have this. He still has a slightly lesser symptom like this. He was given a set of medications, including an antibiotic. Also he was nebulized.
Could you post an updated video of her? We are currently deciding on where to take our little one…its between Sage & UC Davis. Any advice is appreciated!
Hey, Just wanted to follow up and see how the Roxy & the stent is doing? We are going through the same thing with our yorkie and researching treatment options. Our dog is 7yrs old. Look forward to your reply. thanks!
My pom Rocky has had this issue for years. However, it is getting worse. We have very little money for surgery, but I read it can be maintained with cough suppressants, anti-anxiety meds. True? Im really worried about him, as this is affecting his quality of life big time.
sugarbear I just took her for oxygen again 2nd time just now being told about reverse sneezing her trachea sticking and panics not getting air temperature went to 106 1st time yesterday 104 temp help
I am going through the same situation and i don't have the money. Vets charge an arm and a leg and i just can't afford it. I feel so bad and guilty. Is there anything i can do to help?
Our pom is having the same issue, There seems to be no help. He is collapsing and gasping for air at times and especially after running up the stairs after he potties because he knows he gets a treat. Do you mind me asking how much the stent cost and if it is working? I know this post is older but I would love to know. thank you :)
Jodi hopefully you check this post again because I can't reply off my phone. I know that with the two stents (Roxy had granulation issues from the first stent so a second was needed to open the airway again) and all the medication along with check ups it's been over 10k for sure. However check with local vets on insurance and other forms of help to pay for the procedure. Roxy is doing great though! She pants a lot because of the prednisone though.
my pom got diagnosed bout 2 months ago it has sever heart problems it is now getting treated everryday with medicine its so sad im like a 22 yr old dude and its breaking me too watch it suffer i dont know what to do with him as he is 10 and an opperation does not guarentee a longer lifespan and its 5000 gs so yeah leaves the situation fucked
on no. My pom is doing this! My last pom had congestive heart failure and coughed like that, was placed on meds. He lived for 16 years then died. My heart broke. My pom now is doing the exact same thing, I dont know if its kennel cough (new dog came with it and I suspected she caught it from her) or if its chf. now Im wondering if its collapsed trachea. I cant get her to the vet until Monday. Now Im more worried!
I have a 1.5 year old Pom who does this. I suspected it might be a collapsed trachea. (It is different than reverse sneezing.) He is over weight for a Pom so we are starting with a strict diet to see if that helps. I don’t know what else to do!
Hi I was just wondering what the status of your little Pom is. Can you give people an update? Hoping your little Roxy is still with you and doing well. What was the cost of the surgery? Thanks
Roxy is doing great. It's been a year now and she still takes hycoden for a slight cough. She goes to the vet on 11/19 for a gp checkup. I hope your yorkie does well.
I lucked out, Roxy was my dog but when I moved my dad missed her sooo much that we arranged for him to keep her. If I had kept her myself there's no way I could have afforded any treatment for her.
I have an 11 year old pom with a collapsing trachea but she snores horribly and it sounds like shes congested. Did your pom do this also? I've taken her to the vet they said they wanted to do a scope.
My dog sounds like this whenever she sees me and gets excited. After her fit she sort of hacks once and she stops the honking noise. She's also a 6 year old Pomeranian. Should I be concerned?
I have seen my 8 mo old puppy doing this, every now and then. Not daily though. She had her trachea x rayed at 3 mom old and it was fine. How often does your dog do this? Was the diagnosis confirmed to be collapsed trachea?
Sorry I can't figure out how to reply to people's comments off my phone. Yes she snores when she sleeps. She'll go through a new surgery for her knee next. My poor loving baby
My Chihuahua does this. I saw a video with a vet saying allergies can do this to dogs and I've heard a collapsed trachea. So not sure if he was saying that allergies "cause" a collapsed trachea? Does anyone know why this would happen? It seems to me, for my dog, if he gets excited....that is when I notice it happening "usually"...but it can happen anytime. So I really don't know. It usually passes. I try to keep him calm (or myself rather) and gently rub his neck. I don't know if it helps but at least he knows I know that something is going on with him. I worry so much when that happens but he has ALWAYS done this. He is 9 now.
I also wanted to say to everyone, I'm really sorry if any of your dogs are suffering. It breaks my hear to hear so many dogs with health problems :( hugs to you all.
So I am locked out of this youtube account but Roxy currently has pneumonia. She is on anti biotitcs but they don't seem to be helping. We have an appointment set up with Sage for next week so the doctor that did the stent can take a camera to look into her lungs (Only trust her to do it since she's the one that placed that stent) While there I will see what ways there are to at least keep your dog calm and comfortable and what other options there are for those of who can't afford the operation
my aunt's lil baby had this...you guys take it seriously it probably took his life...keep his or her fur down and don't walk him or her out in the heat especially if he or she has a collapsed trachea....I had no idea this was so dangerous...he was just a lil goof ball cougher to me...didn't even know it had a name...or was medical. I thought he just had bad snot problems...congestion...
my 11 yr old pom has a collapsing trachea from early on never worn a collar wen they start coughing suddenly like at 6yrs 15 yrs old get them to the vet i no it cost its usually congestive heart failure they cough cough mine acts like gonna throw up coughs wen drinking water is heart failure my long time vet said it was her trachea i said no its not ive had her for 11 yrs no what trachea episodes are like i went on to another vet she was dx wcongestive heart failure murmur lasix helps
Check their hearts ! We found out it is congestive heart failure ours is about 11 yes old as well - it can start early - meds are not that expensive either :) POMS do RULE !!!! xoxoxox
iAM SO SORRY THAT YOU LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT makes it so expensive to humans and to dogs, for medicines and surgeries, its a shame really..we see a lot of Americans down here in Mexico, taking care of dogs and cats, thank god we here in Mexico, have a system that, humans are treated for free.and are giving medication, surgeries, tests for free, just like CUBA...Animals are always treated, on your earning scale..Ov are 3dls meds are real cheap. how sad for pets.if their owner cant afford it.
I adopted a Pom of 8 years for my gf as a house warming gift and he does this very loudly all day and all night. specifically 3am. I don't even know what sleep is anymore :c
Recently our pomeranian was diagnosed with a collapsing trachea, our vet advised to use half of a baby aspirin mixed with a little bit of honey and warm water to suppress the cough. We haven't had to use it yet since our pom doesn't cough this badly but just in case you may want to try it like I said my vet recommended it.
TRsurenda213 I just adopted a 7 yr old one and have been to the vet to get him checked and a lot of other things. If you massage their throat/trachea it relaxes it and helps for a while. A quick solution minus the extra medicating him. It really works wonders
just ask vet to throuroly investigate & listen to heart & xray heart or give heart blood test oral lasix water pill b4 assuming it is only the collapsing trachea please
Collapsing Trachea can be avoided if using a HARNESS on the dog instead of a collar, according to many vets. Especially small dog breeds should wear harnesses, because they are more at risk of developing Collapsing Trachea than large dog breeds.
Yes and no. We recently adopted a senior toy breed who had never worn either collar or harness in their life with previous owner. She was diagnosed with a collapsing trachea despite never wearing a collar. This is a hereditary condition.
my pom is 10 years old and has always used a harness,,he has the coughing and gaging pretty bad,vet says he has enlarged heart pressing against his trachea,,prescribed two kinds of meds but did not help.
No it can't. It is a genetic defect of the breed. My old guy has never pulled on a leash harness and he has developed it in his old age. But I agree it would be nuts to walk a POM on leash to collar.
It is normally and there is nothing you can do about it other than pet slowly and try to calm them down until it passes within a minute. my Chihuahuas do it but it sounds way cuter LOL
I am so sorry to hear your pom baby, Roxy has this, glad the stent helped. My Papillon, Chloe's collapse was too deep in her chest so back in early 2000 they didn't do that surgery as it was not usually sucessful for toy dogs.

DO NOT RUB THE THROAT! This is dangerous and could trigger tracheal collapse. See my other posts and clips for more advice.

my 11 yr old pom has a collapsing trachea from early on never worn a collar wen they start coughing suddenly like at 6yrs 15 yrs old get them to the vet i no it cost its usually congestive heart failure they cough cough mine acts like gonna throw up coughs wen drinking water is heart failure my long time vet said it was her trachea i said no its not ive had her for 11 yrs no what trachea episodes are like i went on to another vet she was dx wcongestive heart failure murmur lasix helps
My pomeranian/chuahua does this now n then she's just over a year old
2000-4000 depending on how many rings they put in
Check their hearts ! We found out it is congestive heart failure ours is about 11 yes old as well - it can start early - meds are not that expensive either :) POMS do RULE !!!! xoxoxox
Have his heart checked, we just found out it isnt his trachea at all.
iAM SO SORRY THAT YOU LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT makes it so expensive to humans and to dogs, for medicines and surgeries, its a shame really..we see a lot of Americans down here in Mexico, taking care of dogs and cats, thank god we here in Mexico, have a system that, humans are treated for free.and are giving medication, surgeries, tests for free, just like CUBA...Animals are always treated, on your earning scale..Ov are 3dls meds are real cheap. how sad for pets.if their owner cant afford it.
we found out it wasnt his trac - he has congestive heart failure. :( he is doing ok but still coughs a bit. I guess that is common in poms too :(
i thought yorkies are the breed who get tracheal collapse a lot and not pomeranian
I forgot to mention that Stewie is a Pomeranian.
I adopted a Pom of 8 years for my gf as a house warming gift and he does this very loudly all day and all night. specifically 3am. I don't even know what sleep is anymore :c
TRsurenda213 i know your pain. its 2am now and i hear my dog doing the same overnight.
Recently our pomeranian was diagnosed with a collapsing trachea, our vet advised to use half of a baby aspirin mixed with a little bit of honey and warm water to suppress the cough. We haven't had to use it yet since our pom doesn't cough this badly but just in case you may want to try it like I said my vet recommended it.
TRsurenda213 I just adopted a 7 yr old one and have been to the vet to get him checked and a lot of other things. If you massage their throat/trachea it relaxes it and helps for a while. A quick solution minus the extra medicating him. It really works wonders
My pom does this, and it's the weirdest thing...
just ask vet to throuroly investigate & listen to heart & xray heart or give heart blood test oral lasix water pill b4 assuming it is only the collapsing trachea please
Collapsing Trachea can be avoided if using a HARNESS on the dog instead of a collar, according to many vets. Especially small dog breeds should wear harnesses, because they are more at risk of developing Collapsing Trachea than large dog breeds.
Yes and no. We recently adopted a senior toy breed who had never worn either collar or harness in their life with previous owner. She was diagnosed with a collapsing trachea despite never wearing a collar. This is a hereditary condition.
my pom is 10 years old and has always used a harness,,he has the coughing and gaging pretty bad,vet says he has enlarged heart pressing against his trachea,,prescribed two kinds of meds but did not help.
No it can't. It is a genetic defect of the breed. My old guy has never pulled on a leash harness and he has developed it in his old age. But I agree it would be nuts to walk a POM on leash to collar.
its sad my dog does the same aswell :( you cant do much about it unfortunately
😢.
My dog died cuz of it :(
It is normally and there is nothing you can do about it other than pet slowly and try to calm them down until it passes within a minute. my Chihuahuas do it but it sounds way cuter LOL
You have to vist the vet and get treatment
You dog could be reverse sneezing it's common in chihuahuas but it probably needs to be checked
When they start having a coughing attack, hold them up to a table fan. It helps them breathe.
grow up
