respiratory support
When you start noticing your pet is coughing more than usual, it might be a sign that something is not right with them. But when it comes to coughing, there are several health conditions out there that your furkid can have. One that many pet parents don’t always think of is a collapsed trachea.
What Is Collapsed Trachea?
Collapsed trachea is a disease that seems to be even more prevalent in smaller breed dogs. It is a chronic and progressive disease of the trachea and unfortunately, it is an irreversible condition. The main breeds that suffer from a collapsed trachea are Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians, Poodles, Shih Tzu’s, and Lhasa Apsos. It can affect all ages and sexes but seems to be diagnosed a lot more in middle-aged to senior dogs (4-14 years). Dogs that are more at risk are those that are overweight or pets that live in a household with smokers.
The trachea is also known as the windpipe and is the pathway that air takes to be transported to the lungs from the nose or mouth. A healthy trachea is made up of a flexible tube that contains rings of cartilage that help to keep the airway open while breathing. A collapsed trachea means that these rings of cartilage begin to get flatter and weaker until the trachea eventually collapses.
The collapsed trachea can reach all the way down to the bronchi (these are the tubes inside the lungs that supply air to tiny air sacs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide). When the collapse reaches this far, it can cause the airway to be severely compromised.
Symptoms
Some of the symptoms presented with a collapsed trachea include:
- Harsh and dry cough
- Difficulty breathing
- Exercise intolerance
- A blue tinge on the gums
- Fainting
- Wheezy/abnormal breathing
- Retching
- Rapid breathing
Diagnosis
To diagnose a collapsed trachea in pets, a veterinarian will take a chest x-ray. It can also help determine the size of the heart as a tracheal collapse may not always be visible on regular x-rays.
If there is nothing obvious on the x-ray, fluoroscopy can be done. Fluoroscopy is basically a moving x-ray that will allow the vet to check the condition of the trachea while the dog is breathing. It helps them identify any problems as the size of the trachea can change when they are breathing in and out.
An endoscopy is a camera that can view the inside of the trachea, which can provide your veterinarian with very clear images of what is going on inside. And last but not least, an echocardiogram is done, which is an ultrasound of the heart. This is done to evaluate cardiac function, which can often be affected when a pet is dealing with a collapsed trachea.
Treatment
Sadly, there is no cure for a collapsed trachea, but there are different ways in which pet parents can help keep their little ones comfortable.
Sadly, there is no cure for a collapsed trachea, but there are different ways in which pet parents can help keep their little ones comfortable. If your pooch is overweight, it is vital that the diet is adjusted in order for them to reach their ideal weight. Some dogs may need heavier doses of sedation to stop the coughing because the constant coughing will irritate the airway, causing them to cough even more. It is best to try to keep them away from any smoke and other environmental pollution that can irritate the airways.
Many pets suffering from this condition will require medication for the rest of their lives while others may require surgical intervention, depending on the severity. The surgery involves placing plastic rings around the outside of the trachea or sometimes a stent is put inside the trachea to hold the airway open.
Natural Support
To help ease some of the symptoms of a collapsed trachea, our pet experts advise using:
NHV Resp-Aid is a blend of 9 herbs that support respiratory function, help to lubricate the mucous membranes in the respiratory system, and help to reduce coughing. It can support the lungs by naturally easing pressure and inflammation.
NHV Turmeric can help to reduce inflammation and discomfort while improving liver and heart function.
NHV PetOmega 3 is packed with essential omega 3 fatty acids that can help to encourage immune system function, promote healthy skin and coat, and supports important organs like the kidneys, heart, and eyes.
NHV Lesstress can help to prevent anxiety, stress, and excitability as they can lead to coughing attacks.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
Help Support Your Dog Naturally
All NHV supplements like Lesstress are 100% natural and created by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist, specially formulated for pets. Feel free to contact our veterinary professionals to get more insight into your little one’s health and wellbeing.

Hi, my Yorkie was put on Hydrocodone Homatopine very young and is still on it. She is now 6. She will still occasionally still cough. X-rays have been taken but never proven that she has a collapsed trachea. We can’t effort to have the tube down her nose. They said it would cost 4,000.00.
Hi Margaret,
We’re so sorry to hear about your furkid. We know how hard this can be, especially when you are not sure what you’re facing.
There are a few supplements that may support her during this difficult moment. As it is an anatomical health condition, the supplements will only support the condition. For example, NHV Resp-Aid may help her breathe better and NHV Turmeric may help decrease the inflammation. Unfortunately, it will not solve the problem, but may help her through it. And the use of a body harness instead of a neck collar can help as well.
Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help. We’re here for you!
Yours in wellness,

Hi there, our cockapoo was diagnosed with a collapsed lung about 4-5 years ago. she’s on 4 different pharmaceuticals to help with heart function, pulmonary high blood pressure caused by the collapsed lung etc. We have her on low sodium food to keep any fluid retention low and watch her weight although she is VERY food motivated. Recently she started the honking cough, wheezing on exhalation and hacking. We haven’t done the flouroscopy but i’m concerned it may also be a collapsing trachea. Would the supplements above be a good idea and helpful do you think? She still full of energy and went on a 2 1/2 mi. walk yesterday…
