Breathing is done through the tracheostomy tube rather than through the nose and mouth. The term “tracheotomy” refers to the incision into the trachea (windpipe) that forms a temporary or permanent opening, which is called a “tracheostomy,” however; the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
Despite the concerns of Hippocrates, it is believed that an early tracheotomy was performed by Asclepiades of Bithynia, who lived in Rome around 100 BC. Galen and Aretaeus, both of whom lived in Rome in the 2nd century AD, credit Asclepiades as being the first physician to perform a non-emergency tracheotomy.

A disorder characterized by the collapse of part or the entire lung. Absence of air in the entire or part of a lung, such as an incompletely inflated neonate lung or a collapsed adult lung. Pulmonary atelectasis can be caused by airway obstruction, lung compression, fibrotic contraction, or other factors.
This may be caused by a blocked airway, a tumor, general anesthesia, pneumonia or other lung infections, lung disease, or long-term bedrest with shallow breathing. Sometimes called a collapsed lung.
tobacco dependence ( F17.-) (at-uh-lek-tuh-sis) failure of the lung to expand (inflate) completely. This may be caused by a blocked airway, a tumor, general anesthesia, pneumonia or other lung infections, lung disease, or long-term bedrest with shallow breathing. Sometimes called a collapsed lung.
Treatment of tracheal collapse is first geared toward medical management with anti-inflammatory steroids, cough suppressants, and sedation as needed. Bronchodilators are commonly used but likely show minimal benefit with solely tracheal disease present. Prednisone is often the first line corticosteroid ...
Tracheal collapse is most common in middle aged to older small breed dogs with the Yorkshire terrier, Pug, Chihuahua, Poodle, and Maltese being over represented. The condition can be congenital but is often caused by progressive generative changes of the tracheal cartilages (tracheomalacia) leading to a loss of tracheal integrity ...
Tracheal collapse can often be diagnosed based on a combination of signalment, clinical signs, and thoracic radiographs. If tracheal collapse cannot be captured on plain radiographs then bronchoscopy (Figure 1) or fluoroscopy may be needed to evaluate for a dynamic collapse.
Although tracheal collapse is a chronic process with life threatening potential, many patients can do well long term with medical management alone or in combination with placement of a tracheal stent, if needed.
If a dog is experiencing tracheal collapse or malformation of the trachea, s/he will exhibit signs including:
If your dog consistently exhibits any of these clinical signs, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Your vet will likely suspect tracheal collapse if your pet appears to have difficulty breathing or shows any other associated signs. S/he will also factor in breed during the evaluation.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for tracheal collapse. Treatment focuses primarily on limiting the clinical signs that the pet is experiencing. That being said, while there is no complete cure, most dogs respond well to treatment and may go years without major complication.
Though most pets never need more than daily medications, there are others that need more interventions to save their lives or to improve their quality of life. Consequently, dogs that present with more severe signs (such as passing out or turning blue) or that are no longer responding to medical therapy may be candidates for tracheal stenting.
Tracheal Collapse (Before): This chest radiograph (x-ray) of a chihuahua shows a severe degree of tracheal collapse. The black arrows are pointing to the normal portions of trachea which contains air (which appears dark gray on x-rays). Whereas the white arrows show a region of complete tracheal collapse with a complete lack of the dark gray gas.
When a dog is being managed medically, s/he will likely need recheck appointments with a veterinarian at least every 6 to 12 months for a routine evaluation and medication adjustments. Those with a tracheal stent need periodic follow up appointments with their internist or surgeon.
If you suspect that your dog has tracheal collapse, we recommend scheduling an appointment with your vet. In time, if untreated, tracheal collapse will likely worsen and the dog may experience:
Tracheal collapse is classified into four grades: Grade 1: The important cells that form the tracheal lumen, a structure that supports your dog's trachea, are reduced by approximately 25%, but the cartilage is still normal shaped. Grade 2: The tracheal lumen is reduced by approximately 50% and the cartilage is partially flattened.
In addition to a honking cough, there are other signs that could indicate tracheal collapse. Some of them include: Difficulty breathing. Coughing when you pick your dog up or apply pressure to their neck. Vomiting, gagging, or retching associated with the coughing.
The trachea is a flexible tube with sturdy c-shaped rings of cartilage. These cartilages keep the trachea open for air to get in and out of the lungs. Tracheal collapse is a progressive respiratory condition that occurs when these tracheal rings of cartilage collapse. It can cause your dog to have breathing problems as the windpipe collapses.
Other tests: These could be blood tests, a check-up that includes urinalysis, blood count, chemistry panel, and/or heartworm testing to check for conditions that may cause coughing. Other methods like radiographic imaging can be used, but these might not be enough to diagnose tracheal collapse on their own.
If their trachea begins to collapse, you may notice your dog producing a honking cough. This happens as the air pushes through the collapsing rings of cartilage.
A dog with tracheal collapse will experience bouts of respiratory distress. These episodes can be violent and last a few minutes until they resolve themselves. Obesity and humid weather are other factors that could bring out the signs of tracheal collapse in your dog.
It can cause your dog to have breathing problems as the windpipe collapses. This can result in a harsh dry cough. In most cases the cause of tracheal collapse in dogs is unknown. However, it may be a congenital disorder.
