Trakealkollaps
Also known as: Sammenfald af luftrøret
Hereditary
Trakealkollaps er en fremadskridende svækkelse og udfladning af luftrørets bruskringe, hyppig hos små hunderacer og dværgracer. Det svækkede luftrør indsnævres under vejrtrækning og giver en karakteristisk tør, gæslingelignende hoste. Ophidselse, varme, overvægt og motion forværrer episoderne. Det er en kronisk, håndterbar men uhelbredelig tilstand.
