I am very glad I found this forum and I hope I can find more info and educate myself to help my Piggy. She has a severe hypoplastic trachea and at 5 months she is still 12 lbs. Her breathing is heartbreaking and I just do not want to give up on her. I would apreciate any advices on how to take care of her. I give her a lemon every morning, limit her activity to the minimum, I hand feed her, I give her steam treatments, her lungs seems to be clear now, but her breathing looks and sounds so painful. I wish I had a magic pill .... The surgery is out of questions, she is too small and weak for it.
