My pom was suffering too but I heard it once in awhile now since I changed his diet to white meat only, turkey, cod, etc. Nomore beef, salmon. I went to a different vet, holistic one bc my pom was panting alot lately. She said he has internal body heat problem, allergies. Need to lose weight. My pom eats veggies too. I cook food for him
Please ask your vet if it's ok for your dog with collapsing trachea to take Cosequin. It is a supplement for building cartilage which is what the trachea is made of. It's over the counter and not expensive. The dosage instructions are on the bottle. It takes a month or two to notice a difference but it has been a miracle for my little ten year old Chi and his collapsing trachea. He's been on it about a year now and he never coughs anymore.
@@mariallableu8388 I believe Cosequin has products in different forms and with different ingredients. I can only tell you what my dog takes. I order online. The front of the bottle says Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint Support Plus MSM & HA. (Not all of them have HA but mine does) The ingredients of the chewable tablets are Glucosamine Hydrochloride - 600 mg, Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate - 300 mg, MSM - 250 mg, HA - 6 mg, Manganese - 3 mg. It needs to be given with food so it doesn't cause stomach upset. The dosage chart on the bottle goes by weight of your dog. My dog takes half a tablet every other day. Most dogs like them but my dog is picky so I have to crumble it into canned food. Because every dog and every case is different, I do strongly advise asking your vet if this would be ok for your dog to try. If you do try it, please let us know how it worked for you. ☺
Thank you for the advice! I am willing to try it on my 12 year old poodle. The vet has prescribed several medications and none have made a difference. I actually just ordered CBD oil and chewable yesterday. Desperate to find him some relief.
@@margaritasmith2946 It's not expensive. A bottle lasts a small dog a very long time. Please check with your vet about any interactions between different medications and if it's ok for your dog to try. Hope it helps your little poodle.
They're not collars, they are harnesses. They need control with potential traffic at highway speeds, wildlife near the road and nothing but the road to walk on. Do you suggest I allow them freedom to roam, potentially killed by a vehicle, or some of the most deadly snakes on the planet? Then there's neighbours cattle dogs that see my dogs at sporting kills like a rabbit, not to mention native the dingoes that are plentiful right now. My dogs are only restrained for their safety and protection, usually on walks, but they roam free at home.
My poodle had this in the end I had her put to sleep ,as steroids did not work it was pitiful to see her trying to breath and choking ,I did try alternatives like honey and elderberry medicine organic but it still didn’t work poor baby I hope she’s at rest she was 12 years old ❤
I'm very cautious about exercise and how much it enough. My dog benefit from these walks and I should probably do more to be truthful. I take advantage of the fact that I have a large property for them to have fun on, plus the fact that they are tiny dogs. Missy is 16 in May and can still do walks, I just don't push her or expect to much from her, because of her age.
They're fine. They hardly suffer at all. It is kind of like having to breathe through a straw all the time. Only they've become accustomed to it. It is a degenerative condition though and it can potentially shorten their lives. My guess is that the larger dog (mum), Missy is 14 and only mildly affected. Her life won't be shorter because of it, but with her son, Chewie being so tiny and already more affected, his life is more likely to be shorter as he does have loud or grunting breathing happening when he exercises. He is 6 in January. As day to day living goes, they are healthy and happy, they both play, run and bark, they just can't do endurance stuff, short 15 minute bursts of fun are very frequent though.
It's no city. It's a tiny country town. Poor pup's live on 100 acres. I love how people are quick to judge. They only visit the village occasionally and I video this, all of a sudden you assume they live in a concrete jungle? Look up Nimbin Australia.
My neighbour asked me yesterday what was wrong with her dog As it’s the exact same symptoms I thought it was reverse sneezing until I seen this What causes this problem
It's a genetic defect caused by selectively breeding the smallest of a litter over and over to achieve a dog far too small to be healthy it's whole life.
Smaller breeds of dogs sadly have it as a condition especially in maturity. Chewie, the tiny guy in this video sadly passed away on the 26th of July from a tick bite to the throat of all places. Just devastating.
@@davidcarr2649 Thanks for the reply Sorry to here about chewie It is devastating losing them I lost my 3 dogs all within the last year to cancer and I’m still shell shocked by it
@@davidcarr2649 I'm so sad to hear about Chewie. I know it's hard for both you and Missie. Please ask your vet if it's ok to give Cosequin to Missie. It's a supplement for building cartilage which is what the trachea is made of. It's over the counter and not expensive. The dosage instructions are on the bottle. It takes a month or two to notice a difference but it was a miracle for my little ten year old Chi and his collapsing trachea. He's been on it about a year now and he never coughs anymore.
