Samie is not on any steroids. I wonder if something like that would help her. her little trachea today on the xrays was barely open. the chest area it was but it was so hard to see the opening. That is what has be so worried. she is on the Flovent (inhaler) which as I said it does make her pant really bad. At some point when we discussed allergies and meds for her the vet said that if she had something with steroids that it could cause her to pant more but that was steroids in allergy meds. Not trachea issues. Is your little on on predisone? I am praying the vet has some advice for us. She tends to be "test happy" which we learned with my other yorkie. she did so many tests on my other one. and yes it was peace of mind but a lot of it we feel was unnessary. has anyone ever talked to you about Hydromet or the FLovent? I mean- i think it "helps" her but I think she could be on something else. especially since she is so severe. i am in McKinney, I am new to the area since my husband and i relocated from up North (Ohio) but Fort Worth is about an hour away i believe. thanks so much for responding. i will try my best to keep it together. I have a pounding headache and I just talked to my friend long distance up in Ohio. And i love her dearly but she just does not understand me right now. There is no way she could... I just needed to talk to someone and she is the only one I knew that would listen to me. But that's all she could do. Listen. i will keep posting as I am able to. I have hope after reading your response. Hope that maybe Samie could be on some kind of steroid to help her. She has not been on anything like that. She just turned 9 years old in July. I guess I need to expect for the worse at this point and hope for the best. :-( ya'll made me cry after reading all of these responses. and I am crying again right now... my head is pounding and I have not eaten all day. Making myself sick over her. She is acting so normal right now I wish I could say that this morning was just a bad horrible dream. But i just can't get what happened out of my head. I just keep reliving it. Holding her in my arms, her body so limp... so...so so so.... scary. |
