Description
Tracheal Collapse Support for Pets
Tracheal collapse is an acquired, non- congenital, disease. It can occur in the neck region, within the chest, where the trachea is located, or in both locations. The cartilage rings of the trachea (windpipe) are shaped like the letter C, lying on its back. A small membrane covers the top of the ring. The cartilages loses its rigidity, and the membrane stretches. For this reason, the rings may be collapsed, the windpipe flattened, and mild to severe obstruction of the airway may develop.
The cause is not well understood, but proposed theories include genetic factors such as breed, nutritional influences, neurologic problems, and degeneration of the tracheal cartilages.
