It is a very sensitive area and looks somewhat similar to that of a vacuum hose and has many stiff rings with flexible tissue connecting them.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes these rings are not stiff enough and are unable to hold the trachea open against the air pressure that\u2019s created during respiration. The portion of the trachea that is not stiff is then sucked into the airway causing partial obstruction making it difficult for your chihuahua to breath.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, their abdominal muscles may become tense from the extra effort they make to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>A collapsed trachea is a common chihuahua health concern that is characteristic of the <a title=\"chihuahua breed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.famouschihuahua.com\/chihuahua-facts\/chihuahua-breed-standards\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chihuahua breed<\/a> and is also commonly referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famouschihuahua.com\/chihuahua-health-concerns\/reverse-sneezing\/\">\u201creverse sneezing\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Images Of A Normal Trachea Verses A Collapsed Trachea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25141 size-full lazyload\" title=\"tracheal collapse\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.famouschihuahua.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2009\/05\/trachea-width.jpg.webp\" alt=\"chihuahua trachea collapse\" width=\"600\" height=\"467\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/467;\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.famouschihuahua.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2009\\\/05\\\/trachea-width.jpg&quot;}\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">X-ray Image<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39551 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.famouschihuahua.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/tracheal-collapse-scaler-chihuahua.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"542\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/542;\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;data-src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.famouschihuahua.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/tracheal-collapse-scaler-chihuahua.jpg&quot;}\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Looking down the trachea<\/p>\n<p><strong>Factors That Can Lead To Tracheal Collapse<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Obesity,<\/li>\n<li>Irritants,<\/li>\n<li>Allergies,<\/li>\n<li>Repeated heart conditions,<\/li>\n<li>Bacterial infections,<\/li>\n<li>Viruses<\/li>\n<li>And second-hand cigarette smoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Symptoms Presented With A Collapsed Trachea<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harsh and dry cough<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<li>Exercise intolerance<\/li>\n<li>A blue tinge on the gums<\/li>\n<li>Fainting, wheezing and abnormal breathing<\/li>\n<li>Rapid breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tracheal collapse can also be brought on by damage done from leash pulling, especially if you use a collar to walk your chihuahua.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended that you switch to a <a href=\"http:\/\/store.famouschihuahua.com\/__productype.asp?PT_ID=39&amp;strProductID=Dog_Harrness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trachea friendly chihuahua harness<\/a> to prevent any pushing or pulling against the trachea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diagnosis of Tracheal Collapse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If any of the symptoms above develop, take your chihuahua to the vet right away.
