Guess the diagnosis #1

Guess what's wrong.
A 6 year old Sheltie mix came in having difficulty breathing, especially after exercise. Can you tell why by the radiograph above?

Highlight here for the answer: Collapsed trachea -see the dark tube leading from the head and following the path of the spine? That's the trachea. See how narrow it gets near the area of the front legs? It should be about the same diameter all the way down!
