They don't think she had seizures, but she fainted from gagging and not getting air. They put her on steroids and referred us to the same specialist that we are going to today. It is a vet that specializizes in internal medecine. Our vet said they will either do an ultra sound or an endoscopy. I am hoping for ultra sound. We are still waiting for blood results for valley fever, which is a possibility, the vet also mentioned cancer, but she seems very young for that. Have you dealt with megaesophagus? Is that treatable?
Thank you for your concern and info, I will keep you updated. |
My family lived in AZ and my father had valley fever. I never thought of dogs having it.
Sounds like Lulu is in good hands. Hope you have answers soon.
