    would be useful to know if the vet has ever produced the “stick” or if they just say it dislodged and dropped out but must have scraped etc … ?

    That sounds likely  🙂 I did think it sounds like a recurring physical problem if it happens often.

    So have you wonderful ‘fonts of all knowledge’ got any more info on tracheal collapse  ;D ?

    What should be done when it happens? Is it dangerous to dog (am guessing yes?!) – what can be done during an ‘attack’ and should the owner be seeking special treatment? (I would have thought they should… but suspect they aren’t)

    the laryngeal paralysis is the big problem…the more it happens the longer the attacks get…needs treatment..

    Laryngeal paralysis is a problem of the larynx,  The larynx is located at the entrance to the trachea or windpipe and is covered by a movable, valve-like structure or flap called the epiglottis, which covers the windpipe when we swallow to prevent food from entering the trachea. The larynx itself also closes to prevent aspiration of food and water and acts to control airflow into the windpipe.

    Laryngeal paresis (weakness) is caused by malfunction either of the muscles that move the two halves of the larynx into an open position, the nerves that control those muscles, or both. In laryngeal paresis/paralysis the larynx fails to open properly during inhaling, and this leads to airway obstruction.
    Untreated it will kill the dog sooner or later
