I'm just hoping this doesn't happen again--wish I knew how he got it. To answer the above poster, he didn't have his anals cleaned out and I never knew that could be dangerous. I definitely have to keep that in mind. |
Hi. So happy everything is going well and Hershey is on the mend! YAY!
Were you given anti-inflammatory meds and any acepromazine to give at a later time?
My 7 yo TeddE is in Purdue Hospital Critical Care right now. I dropped him off for he will be there overnight before any thing will be done. He is in the oxygen cage and is very heavily sedated. I was told they will be doing a fluoroscopy of his trachea, for that is a very good diagnostic tool for this condition. Of course he might have to be intubated, if the worse happens tonight and I am praying that is NOT the case!
If all goes well and he calms down, tests are tomorrow to determine what to do to help him. But this does not go away. It does worsen in time. TeddE has had this for four years now. First I was told reverse sneeze, just a cough etc. Then collapsed trachea. Soft palate issue. He had a terrible time trying to breath yesterday at the vet and thru the night.
I don't mean to pry, I am just trying to find information. When my vet said to just keep him calm three years ago, I never dreamed it would eventually get so bad he would be in the hospital or I would have demanded the test right there and then!!
Sending love to you and Hershey!! Such great news!!
