This just makes me so very, very sad that he is in so much pain and that breathing is just horrible.
I will be saying prayers that he starts feeling better soon and they are able to help him.
I know he is good hands and will be taken care of with lot's of love. |
His breathing really looks worse than it is. Not to say he has no issues, but he is not in horrible respiratory distress and has good air exchange. BUT...his ribs are floating and could cause damage....and he has no protection there because the ribs are missing.
His chest always caves like that due to the missing ribs, but the breathing does slow some. She took that video outside and he was breathing a bit heavier. It may be that his trachea is collapsed in which case he will need to be more of an a/c pup.
I am hopeful that if it is CT, it can be managed well medically. Some of them do quite well. The first thing though is to fix that chest...looks awful. Oh, and his hip, of course.
