Colapso da Traqueia: The Honking Cough in Small Dogs
A goose-honk cough in a small breed dog often signals tracheal collapse. While incurable, it's very manageable.
Tracheal collapse is a progressive condition where the cartilage rings that support the windpipe weaken and flatten, causing the trachea to narrow or collapse during breathing. It's one of the most common causes of chronic cough in toy and miniature breeds.
