http://vlog.xuite.net/b92209019 : 家里狗狗的这个情形大概有快半年 : 如同前面所说 状况时好时坏 : 之前比较好的时候 以为已经康复 但之後又出现这样的情形 : 出现咳嗽的时间点不固定 : PS.家里狗狗13岁.算是有点年纪了...不知这样的状况是否也和年纪有关 : PS2.饮食方面我们也算颇注意.平常只喂饲料 当然需要带去动物医院。 你可以先看看这个连结 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jteFw8jef3c 情况是不是和你家狗狗情况很类似，不过因为它处在亢奋状态，次数比你的狗狗快。 从症状来看，最有可能是因上呼吸道的阻塞而导致，尤其是气管塌陷(collapsing trachea) 的可能性很高，在作进一步的检查前，必须先试着把病畜稳定下来，安置於安静而且凉爽的 环境，避免过度运动。 气管塌陷容易发生於许多小型品种的犬只，例如吉娃娃、博美犬、迷你贵宾犬和其他迷你品 的犬种，这易发犬种大部份都是属於先天性，也有少数因为长期呼吸道的感染，造成气管本 身弹性的消失，导致气管塌陷。具有这种体质的犬种於二岁以前通常不致有什麽问题发生， 随年龄的长大气管的弹性越来越差，塌陷的情形也越来越严重。因为气管狭窄的关系，气体 通过气管时会有类似鹅鸣的呼吸声，如果有感染同时存在，不论是急性或慢性的感染，将会 引起严重的咳嗽症状。可能伴有气管炎的情况，她的呼吸声後有作咳作呕的动作，且同时发 出ㄎㄚ\的声音。 体重的控制是管理上最重要的因数，过重的犬只常有严重的症状外同时伴有心肺疾病，药物 治疗包括镇咳剂，支气管扩张剂和预防及对抗细菌感染的抗生素。假如药物无效就必须进行 外科疗法。 除此之外你可以观察有无以下症状，咳嗽，呼吸困难，吸入性呼吸困难，呼吸急促，乾呕， 黏膜发紫，心律不整。建议你，明天就找时间带他去动物医院，你可以提供这段影片给医生 看，作为参考。看诊回来，可以寄信和我分享看诊结果吗 ? ^ ^ 你可以参考以下文章 Collapsed Trachea Race Foster, DVM Marty Smith, DVM Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc. Collapsing trachea (or collapsed trachea) is a common condition that causes coughing in small and toy breeds of dogs. Let us start with an explanation of how the dog breathes, The respiratory system is basically comprised of the opening in the nose, the sinuses, the larynx (air passage containing the vocal cords), the trachea (wind pipe), the bronchial tubes, and the lungs. It has a dual purpose in the dog: to remove carbon dioxide from the body replacing it with oxygen, and to act as a cooling system. Since dogs do not have sweat glands they cannot perspire to lower their body temperature. By breathing faster, warm air from the body is exchanged with cooler air from outside. The act of breathing is accomplished by the actions of the rib muscle and the movement of a large internal muscle called the diaphragm. The diaphragm separates the chest from the abdomen. Movement toward the abdomen causes the pet to breathe in fresh air. As the pet inhales, fresh air moves through the nose and larynx to the trachea. This rigid tube is supported by tough rings of cartilage. It carries the air to the bronchi, which in turn supply the lungs. What is a collapsed trachea? The trachea is supported by tough rings made of cartilage. Occasionally, the trachea will lose its rigidity and collapse while the dog is breathing. For unknown reasons, the cartilage rings weaken and the trachea no longer has proper support. The collapsing trachea syndrome is most often seen in toy breeds, especially Toy Poodles over the age of five. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of this syndrome depend on the severity of the deterioration. Usually, the dog will have difficulty breathing, especially during exercise. The deeper the pet tries to inhale, the more the trachea collapses, further restricting air flow (similar to sucking on a straw too hard). The pet appears to tire easily as it becomes short of breath. Dogs with a collapsing trachea will generally cough as if trying to clear the airways, and occasionally this cough will sound like a goose honk. In very severe cases, the tongue and gums will appear blue as breathing becomes restricted. What are the risks? Most dogs suffering with the collapsed trachea syndrome live normal - but restricted - lives. Activity is generally limited because the ability to breathe deeply when exercising is hindered. Left untreated, the restricted air flow can put undue stress on the heart and lungs as they try to compensate for the inability to breathe properly. Obese dogs are at greater risk than others. What is the management? Examination with the fingers and radiographs (x-rays) will generally confirm the diagnosis. Depending upon the severity of the condition, medications will help. Veterinarians usually prescribe drugs to help dilate the airways. The coughing is controlled by cough suppressants such as Torbutrol. If the pet is obese, we suggest a stricter diet. Finally, activity should be restricted and not encouraged. Dogs with collapsing tracheas should wear harnesses instead of collars in order to take any pressure off of the trachea. With the help of medication and modification of lifestyle, the collapsing trachea can be controlled but seldom cured. In severe cases, surgery to help open the airways may be beneficial, but most cases are managed medically not surgically.
