Can tussigan halp dogs with collapsed trachea?

Answer 1

It has helped my dog to sleep at night (and thus US to sleep at night) in the past few years. But he's about 18 years old now and the gagging has become constant -- he gags when you pick him up, he gags when you put him down, he gags when he goes up 2 steps (if he can get up them), he gags when he gets up and takes two steps .... But I continue to give it to him for night-time, in case it's helping (could be worse?). Another vet I consulted about Ed's collapsed trachea and other ailments thought that what he prescribes, which relaxes the trachea (sorry, I don't recall the name of it), works better than Tussigan. I did not try it (other dogs had other issues at the time); Ed's so old that he gets his Rimadyl in the morning and his Tussigan at night and we lift and carry him all around the house and clean up after accidents and, well, you know -- old dog care!
