http://yorkiesurgery.chipin.com/trachea-surgery Here is a short video I took after a long night of struggling to breathe... poor thing can barely hold his head up anymore, and wasn't remotely interested in a treat...
@kgray811 Of course I took him to the vet! Until he can get surgery, there is simply nothing the vet can do... we have him on bronchial dialators (steroids) and cough suppressants, but that only relieves the problem briefly, and the steroids are bad for him... he has another appointment for xrays and a visit with the surgeon this week. We are hoping that the collapse isn't too far advanced for surgery to help him... Once it goes downwards in behind the chest wall, it becomes wildly risky.

Did you take him to the vet....He probably needs to be in an oxygen tent! The poor thing is struggling! You can't let him go on like that!
