I did a little reading on chylothorax as I had never heard of it. From my reading, it is treatable to a point but the prognosis is poor. I read back over one of the OP's other threads and as of June 7 she still had no diagnosis for Stella. How many would have put their dog to sleep without at least trying some treatment, which is what Shasha was doing with Stella? She was getting her ready for the ER when she passed. It's apples and oranges to compare another's success with Stella's passing. I must say I'm distressed and disappointed as can be at some of these attitudes in the wake of Stella's passing.
Shasha, my deepest sympathies to you in the loss of your Stella. |
