Info on trachea malacia Can anyone help?
Tracheal Malacia is a condition in which the trachea does not stay stiff and open like a normal child. Instead, the airway is floppy and closes down on itself. In mild cases it can cause wheezing sounds and vigilant supervision and proactive treatment of respiratory infections is important. In more serious cases children can be on tracheotomy tubes for years (usually average time is 4 years). Most children who survive infancy will grow out of the condition by 3-5 years of age.

Can a Pekingese dog age 4 years have babies?
I deleted previous answer as it was slightly out of line.
Most dogs can have babies after 6 months to 1 year. This depends a lot on size of race to start with. (Should possibly wait a little bit longer though)
When it comes to dogs, we normally say that 1 human year equals 7 dog years.
4 year is then 28 human years and there is no problems involved with a 28 year old woman having a baby.
Humans and dogs can not be compared that way easily though. There are many differences.
In any case. A Pekingese dog age 4 is at its prime for having pups.

There's nothing you can do about it. All dogs shed naturally everyday, and the Pekingese moult heavily during seasonal changes.
