HELP !!! I am a very worried Mum right now. Teddy has got a Collapsing Trachea, which I can deal with as my two others had the same thing, but has now got other problems, which seem like Acid Reflux with what the vet
said is LOW GRADE INFECTION, he said his heart sounds fine, but he doesn't like the noise in his chest.
So he is on antibiotics for that: NOROCLAV and for his tummy acid ANTEPSIN.
It all started 4 weeks ago with him bring up bile, every evening between 5pm and 6pm and no other times.
Gradually I changed his food to one for sensitive tums, (By NURTRO) As we can't get a lot of the great dry food you can in the USA and CANADA.
He loves it. BUT the bile problem remained, so I have tried 3 x smaller meals daily instead of two.
As I know many Yorkies bring up bile when they are empty.
It didn't cure it, so off to the vet, who diagnosed this chest infection and stomach acid.
He says he doesn't know what it is. We asked for a chest X-ray and Blood tests but he wants to try the antibiotics and Pepcid first.
I can't help thinking he has got Acid Reflux and the Collapsing Trachea, but why the chest infection, the vet thinks his problems are all linked.
It makes me think it could be a hiatis hernia (I had another Yorkie with that) and these symptoms are very similar.
A hiatal hernia can cause Acid Reflux.
I know I am not a vet and maybe worrying about nothing, but to be sick daily and ill at the tender age of 18 months is a worry.
Any one had anything similar with all this conditions together.
I need some support please.
Diana & Teddy
