The vet said he was going to do some research as he hasn't treated an animal for asthma for many years. He's hoping there are new meds/treatments available now. So for now we are doing nothing except watching him closely.
He has a very difficult time breathing, always wheezing, gasping, snorking etc. His energy level has dropped dramatically, all he wants to do is sleep. We can't even take him for a short walk anymore as his breething is so laboured. I suspect the treatment will be much the same as for humans but for the life of me I don't know how you'd get a 4lb yorkie to use an inhalour.
He is going for chest xrays later this week to rule out any other possibilities.
One with senility, one with asthma and a new pup. All my time is spent taking care of furbabies. |
