Canine Tracheal Collapse

Hello vets! I am a graduate student, and my research partner and I are looking into Canine Tracheal Collapse. We have a few questions for veterinarians regarding this condition, and I thought this might be a good place to start asking questions. We are wanting to know how frequently you treat tracheal collapse in dogs (if you can quantify with a # or %, even better), and what your current treatment options/recommendations are. If you're willing to share your clinic name or general location, that would be great too so we can see how widespread an issue this is. Best, K. Kuttler

Thanks for starting this thread — research into canine tracheal collapse is really important since many dog owners and vets deal with it but it’s not always well understood. Recently I came across a discussion on respiratory patterns described metaphorically as Space Waves, and it reminded me how varied and complex airway issues can appear in dogs.
