Thanks everyone, the first few days were the worst thing I'd ever gone through, the pain was so intense I felt like I was going crazy.I still can't stop crying though, I miss her so much.her brother Milo keeps barking and looking for her, he starting sleeping in the spots she use to lay. And to the person who posted about their dog breathing bad with purple gums, please get her some tests, meesha didn't need any anesthetic to get X-rays, she was good for them and luckily they all showed her collapse to get a diagnosis , when meesha first started showing signs it was just s bit of snorting on walks ,then as it progressed a bit of raspy breathing, to episodes where she would have to catch her breath, she never had the goose honk noises until the last few months. But the sooner you get your Yorkie diagnosed the better, before she was diagnosed I was walking her and she was fat, cutting back on exercise and weight loss are very important. If she's looking at you like that it's because she is uncomfortable, please find a vet to diagnose her in the least intrusive way. Collapsed treachea is the worst thing I've ever had to deal with, hopefully in the future they find a real cure, I read as many articles and study's as I could about the stenting surgery and I didn't like the odds, I chose to keep her medicated, calm, cool, skinnier,etc , she wasn't able to live like she did before.she was diagnosed 2014 in the summer I think, but she started with snorting after she got spayed, part of me wonders if it wasn't genetic, if maybe they used a tube too big or hit the trenchea wall while under anesthetic. I guess I'll never know. |
