 Chylothorax - Chyle Leak
Hi... just come back from the vets and he has diagnosed Stella having chylothorax (leakage from the thoracic ductor one of the main lympathic vessells) and not pnemonia!... she has been in vets all day and he had her under anthestic took xrays and also drained most of the fluid/pus.
she is home now,breathing a lot better,has eaten a little and drank. thank god....ive been reading about this condition onlineand its looking very serious indeed.
Has anyone else every had this rare condition in their dogs?
No wonder she has been soooo ill with all these inefections......
and it looks as if the ceasarean operation from which she got an infection from,has brought this rare condition on....my poor poor stella.....
as if she hasnt been through enough.x |
