Tracheal Collapse in Dogs – Conquering the Cough
Dr. Christopher G. Byers/Critical Care DVM
The trachea, also referred to as the windpipe, is where the air gets in and out of the lungs. Like in a pipe, there needs to be an opening to allow this. In tracheal collapse the weakened structure collapses, restricting the air flow. Not being able to breath is a scary, dangerous thing.

Top Nine Gadgets You (Might) Wish Your Vet Had
Dr. Patty Khuly
Reading Dr. Khuly's article, there are certainly things I wish my veterinarian had. It also makes me recall the beautiful isolation rooms Jasmine's vet designed and had built; all glass, sound-proof, each with its own air ... and his awesome hydraulic examination tables and dental table. He has to be careful how he spends the money he makes but when he does it's always something awesome.
There are other things on the list I think every veterinary hospital should have, such as CryoPen or web-based veterinary records.. One thing Dr. Khuly doesn't list which I really wish veterinary hospitals had is a thermal imaging camera.
Which things from Dr. Khuly's list do you wish your vet had?
