Caring for a Dog With Collapsed Trachea

🎥 In this video, I share what it’s really like living with a senior dog with a collapsed trachea. My Pomeranian, Roxxie, has been dealing with this condition for some time now, and I wanted to offer support, insight, and tips for other pet parents going through the same.

🐶 Common signs and symptoms include honking coughs, breathing difficulty, and exercise intolerance. I’ll talk through how we manage this day-to-day, the treatment options we’ve considered, and how we’ve adapted our routine to make life easier for my pup.
