Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Physiology

Background:

  • Tracheal collapse in calves is frequently linked to dystocia, particularly breech presentations.
  • Inspiratory dyspnea is a common clinical sign, typically appearing within the first few months of life and potentially progressing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic findings of tracheal collapse in calves.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term implications of surgical stenting for tracheal collapse in young calves.

Main Methods:

  • Case review of calves diagnosed with tracheal collapse.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including lateral cervical radiographs, to assess tracheal segments and identify concurrent injuries like rib fractures.
  • Surgical intervention involving tracheal stenting.

Main Results:

  • Lateral cervical radiographs are effective in identifying affected tracheal segments and associated rib fractures.
  • Surgical stenting improves the clinical condition of affected calves.
  • A significant limitation of surgical stenting is the permanent restriction of the tracheal diameter by the prosthesis size in young, growing animals.

Conclusions:

  • Tracheal collapse is a serious condition in calves often associated with birth complications.
  • While surgical stenting offers clinical improvement, it results in a permanently limited tracheal diameter due to prosthesis size.
  • Further research may be needed to explore alternative or improved surgical techniques for managing tracheal collapse in growing calves.
