Default Mass on trachea

What are the symptoms of a mass on the trachea? My 6 year old chihuahua came down with a cough and wheezing on Monday and we thought it might be kennel cough because we recently adopted a puppy from the shelter. Well we took him to the emergency vet that afternoon and they put him in an oxygen chamber. They said he might have a collapsed trachea or he might have a mass that didn't show up on the x-ray. He is still coughing and it sounds like a goose or duck, but I am worried sick he might have a mass. We plan to have an endoscopy done soon. Does anyone know the symptoms of a mass on the trachea? I am really hoping and praying that this is just tracheal collapse and nothing worse.

Please help! Thank you.
