X-ray revealed problem/Willows Veterinary Group
Trevor lives with his family in Warrington, England where he has been saved from a unique crisis by a good veterinarian. The Dachshund developed a leak in his windpipe which permitted air to get under his skin. The process caused him to very quickly expand like a balloon. His astonished owners watched this occur over a short period of time at breakfast recently. At the vets, x-rays showed the hole and Trevor had emergency surgery. He is now back to normal. Dachshunds are a loveable breed but subject to spinal malfunctions from time to time. It is not clear whether this condition contributed to the hole in the windpipe.
