I really don't know what is meant by lower airway blockage. It seems that older toy dogs can get tracheal collapse. Is this what they're talking about? How did they make the diagnosis? If you had X-rays done you can borrow them to take to another practitioner. Here's a piece from a Small Animal vet med book which mentions drugs that can be used for tracheal collapse: http://tinyurl.com/yu6kyr Another: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body..._collapse.html best of luck to you and your pup buglady take out the dog before replying |
