TED IS HOME!!! Yippee. His breathing sounds like heaven (can't hear a peep). Final diagnosis says: rhinotomy for mass excision - severe rhinitis with granulation tissue. Since they can't prove the "carrot" caused it since they did not find a piece in the mass, they said they will do some more research and possibly put him on small dose preventative steroids so that inflammation does not return and cause same thing to happen again. I'm hoping they don't go that route cause steroids scare me in the long term. Meanwhile, they have him on Hills i/d food. He has always been on kibble (natural balance last few months); so I hope this will be okay for his sensitive digestive tract, but he can't have anything hard not even 1 kibble. Anyway, thank you for all your support. He is sporting a
polk-a-dot pain bandange and seems ok for now (pain meds in a little while). I'm afraid to look in his mouth, but I know there are stiches back there. So glad to have him home safe and sound and effortlessly breathing again. thank you everyone for rooting for my Wee Ted. luv corrinne |
