Hi,
I did write a response on the sick pet forum but I tell you also. Oliver did well with the procedure and came home the same day. He was in the ICU for the wkend and that was scary for us. On Sunday evening they said that an x ray showed some mass in his airway and gave us all these options. It turned out to be built up cartilage where his collapse was. close to his throat. We heard there would be more problems if the collapse was at the lower end. He was fortunate in that respect.
I know it's way too early to recommend the procedure since there are risks like dislodgement or infection but at this early stage I 'm glad we did it. He gives him a chance.
I wish we had done the floroscopy sooner. With that procedure your sweety needs to be sedated but at least you know exactly what is going on.
Just research carefully the doctor you choose. They say its so important.
I'll keep in touch. Best wishes. |
