After a lot of trial and error, here are the supplements/ food that helped him tremendously.
Ancestral trachea beef supplement (amazon), organic canned pumpkin (2 tablespoons daily), Curly Parsley (1 teaspoon daily). Ground eggshell (half teaspoon daily), No kibble. This makes the condition worse. Steamed chicken or beef with veggies is what they have to eat. And lastly, do not crate them, they need to walk around freely because it prevents the anxiety which is a side effect of this condition due to insufficient oxygen because of the collapsed trachea. If you have to crate them, make sure there’s a doggie door so they can come out if they want to.
Side note, since implementing the above, my sister’s dog is almost normal again with barely any coughing. Not saying this would work for every dog but it’s what worked for us and I wanted to share even if it helps just one dog.

I have a 15+ year old, 10 lbs. Chihuahua-Dachshund mix. She has severe allergies on and off from giving her a lot of the Costco rotisserie chicken when she was young (didn't know better then). She used to have arthritis but no more. She is 100% deaf, was 100% blind and now only about 90% blind from cataract in both eyes. She is an extremely picky eater. She will go without food if she doesn't like it, especially if she smells supplements etc. in her food. She also has no more teeth (had them all pulled because they were rotten). But she is a happy dog and we go on a walk for 30-60 minutes every day. I let her sniff, rest, interact with other dogs, etc. I don't force her to run. She walks very, very slowly. Besides of her physical activities, here is what I have done and what has worked for her.
Arthritis: I bought a small plastic container of organic alfalfa sprouts at Whole Foods for $2.99, took a small amount (small meatball size) cut it as small as possible and mixed it into her daily food. The amount is not a science. Use as much or little as your pet will eat. It doesn't smell or taste bad. Arthritis gone forever. Got this tip from a lady I talked to on one of my walks.
Cataract: After giving her medical eye drops that didn't work for years for her dry eye, she finally developed cataract and turned 100% blind in both eyes. Then I read about organic and pure caster oil and tried it. I put one drop into each eye every day, but it was stinging her and she put up a fight. Now I only put one drop in each eye about once a week, working quickly and surprising her. Her blindness went down and she can see around the perimeter of her pupils. If I would have kept up administering it to her 3x a day as suggested, I probably would have had more success. But she won't let me.
Allergies: The only thing that works for her is buying meat that is not from CAFO, like 100% grass-fed and organic ground beef from Aldi ($5.29/lbs), pastured and air sealed chicken, etc. All of the conventional meats have been soaked in preservatives, tenderizers, food coloring, flavorings, etc. to extent shelf live and look appealing even though it is already old. I can tell the difference when I feed her conventional meat. She sneezes badly, scratches, and has convulsions, which go away with eating quality food. This leaves me with the question - how long does it take a human to develop diseases from those meats.
Overall Health: I have been reading the book: The One Minute Cure by Madison Cavanaugh (Amazon). She talks about the healing properties of Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and the use of it for pets. I have ordered some H2O2 and will give it also to my dog as directed. It is imperative to know about it before you use it on and in your pets and yourself as it can burn and be fatal if used incorrectly. But if used correctly it can be the miracle healer for all diseases, men and animal (according to thousands of scientific studies). Read the whole book from A-Z. Don't assume anything and it will serve you. P.S. I don't have any benefit whatsoever from mentioning this book.
Good Luck to All of You.

Re: Cocker Spaniel Seizure Advice Rob (Kentucky) on 03/22/2025
Essential oil on Animals (same as Humans) - Seizures: Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Orange, Tangerine, Frankincense. Add 1–2 drops of oil to shampoo. One to two drops of essential oil is all that is necessary on animals, as they respond much more quickly to the essential oils than do humans. Vegetable oil can be added to extend essential oils over larger areas and to heavily dilute the essential oil for use on smaller animals, especially cats.
One Saturday in February, my husband woke me up by yelling from the living room for me to bring my oils. Our dog, Buddy, (a mutt from the pound, age approx. 7+ years) was lying on the floor and all of his muscles were completely seized up and tensed to the point where we couldn’t move any part of his body. I had most of my oils in my large case and the Higley reference guide at my side. I put 4 or 5 drops of lavender oil in my husband's hand and he put that on Buddy’s paws, ears and all over his back and legs, anywhere he was tense that we could reach. We followed the lavender with Peace and Calming (essential oil is a gentle, sweet blend of Ylang Ylang, Orange, Tangerine, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy), Valor and frankincense applied the same way. Those four were the oils I was drawn to by instinct. We massaged him and continued to stroke and pet him during and after the application of oils and after about 10 minutes he was able to get up and to the door to go outside and run around. In between applying oils I looked up the info on animals as well as the info on seizures and strokes ( we weren’t sure what kind of episode he was having), just to make sure my instincts were near to on target (which they were). We had plans to travel about an hour out of town to visit with family, and kept Buddy with us the whole day just to be sure he was ok. When I tell this story to people they tell me about how their dog(s) had seizures and had to be put on steroids and eventually put down because of the seizures.
Hope this helps…

If the Essay is detoxing and/or killing parasites, it would seem quite likely to cause tiredness in your dog. You could try giving activated charcoal to your dog. It is easy to mix in food.
You will find dosing information on this page of Earth Clinic.

I had started giving my dog essiac tea for her cancer. I have read that it also is a detoxifier and can kill parasites. What I’m curious about is my dog seems more lethargic since I started giving her the tea and I was wondering if that’s because of the detoxification. Has anyone had any experience with this or has anyone else been more lethargic? I have also read that it will give you more energy. It has only been a week and a couple of days that she has been on it. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

For humans, and maybe other vertebrates, eyes have their own separate immune system. May need specialized care.

I've been giving it to my cats, 1/2 the recommended dose in the article above, with their meals for quite awhile. Had the oldest to the vet last month, did a blood test of all his organs, & he was found to only have had a mild case of ideopathic pancreatitis from undetermined cause (he's an indoor/outdoor garden cat, est. at least 10 yrs old). Everything else was completely normal. (He's since been showing signs of allergies to grass & tree pollen (I think) and, getting MSM with each meal is keeping his sinus & eyes clear of drips & mucus!)
