Collapsible trachea?

Hey guys!

Well, Odie has alays done something strange, that I think it's collapsible trachea, but I've never confirmed it, and tonight I could catch it on video for the first time so you can see and tell me what you think. I feel so bad for him, whenever he does that I run to him and cuddle him. He usually does it when he's running around on when I have him on the leash tied to his collar (Most of the time I use a harness on him cause of this). Also when he gets overly excited he also does it. But simetimes he does it for no reason at all, like tonight... anyway... here is the video, let me know what you think.

Poor Odie! It sounds so painful

How long does this usually last?

Yeah, I always feel so bad for him when it happens. He looks so miserable a bit afterwards (but then it's all normal...) This usually lasts a few seconds. That one on the video is one of the longest ones he's had. That's why I was able to catch it on video at last, it usually last less time.

Darn! The speakers for my computer are on the fritz.. so I can't hear your video. I have seen it happen in small breed dogs at work. I always walk Koko on a harness as Yorkies are suseptible to that condition.
