I am certainly no expert on this subject, but, I have a 6 y/o yorkie with CT. He has had slight problems his entire life. However in March of this year he nearly died...he had absolutely zero airflow. I did CPR on him and he is still living. We immediately took him to the vet and they started him on Temaril P (Steroid/Antihistamine) and of course they did an xray. His collapse @ that time was 100%. The surgery is too iffy...there are so many other comorbidities that occur after the surgery that I am not willing to allow my Franklin to go through. So, we will keep him as comfortable as possible for as long as possible until he is no longer able to live this way. He is doing fine! But the surgery risks do not lend the reward that one would hope for. |
