Abstract

A dynamic tracheal collapse caused by multiple rib fractures in a neonatal wagyu calf was diagnosed by radiography, endoscopy and computed tomography. Conservative treatment, consisting of the medical treatment of respiratory inflammation and the reduction of environmental and social stress was initiated. The respiratory signs improved significantly, and the calf was discharged. The condition deteriorated after several weeks without treatment, most likely due to of excessive callus formation of the fractured ribs causing increased reduction in tracheal diameter.
