What sound might small dogs with a weak thoracic trachea make?

  1. A wheezing sound

  2. Snoring sounds

  3. A sound similar to "kennel cough"

  4. A high-pitched squeal

The correct answer is: A sound similar to "kennel cough"

Small dogs with a weak thoracic trachea often exhibit a sound reminiscent of "kennel cough," which is characterized by a harsh, dry cough that can be produced by irritation in the trachea. This condition, also known as tracheal collapse, is particularly prevalent in smaller breeds and is a result of weakening cartilage in the tracheal rings. As the dog breathes, the trachea may collapse or partially obstruct, leading to this distinctive coughing sound that resembles a honk or a dry cough. Recognizing this sound is crucial for animal control officers and veterinarians, as it often indicates a need for veterinary evaluation and intervention.
