He said the diagnostic tests that Romeo needs are so exacting and precise that he does not feel comfortable doing them (or having another vet do them). He said that if another vet doesn't do it correctly, they could severely injure Romeo's trachea.
Before we do that though, Romeo is going in next Tuesday to be put under sedation so that he can be sure he doesn't have any polyps or growths in his nasal passage or throat area that would be preventing Romeo from breathing. He said that the enlarged heart, etc. is because Romeo is working so hard to breathe. So, if you would please keep Romeo in your thoughts and prayers - I am not sure what we need to do for him at this point but he was given a mild sedative for the weekend so that he can relax and not be so anxious.... |
Of course, we'll pray...
I read quite a bit about it when I thought that Bo might have it. Let's hope it's not too severe a case.
But even so, apparently, it is operable...

I truly hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does, then it's an option...
All my thoughts are with you...
