Xrays confirm the coughing gagging problems he has been having is because of a collapsing trachea. We can treat the symptoms or have a"Stint" put in to expand the trachea. He is 14 years old and I don't want subject him to an operation that may be dangerous because of his age but I don't want him suffering unnecessarily. The thought of having trouble breathing is scary for anyone but I want to know if the surgery is more dangerous than the condition at is age. Anyone have a dog with it? Did you do the surgery? What was the side effects/results of the surgery. I trust the doctors we were referred to but they don't always tell you everything you need to consider. Thanks
