Tracheal Collapse and Bronchomalacia in Dogs: 58 Cases (7/2001–1/2008)

Abstract

Bronchomalacia was identified more commonly than tracheal collapse in this population of dogs, and documentation required bronchoscopy. This study could not confirm a role for airway inflammation in bronchomalacia, and further studies are required to determine the role of cardiomegaly in the disorder.
