He was given a steroid shot and then some oral steroids to take over the next few days. So hard seeing him panting and not able to get comfortable. But at least it's not collapsed trachea which was my initial concern. Just very swollen throat and bronchial irritation. |
Max's inflammation made me think he was choking. He started gagging and coughing out of nowhere like he was in distress. We rushed to the ER. The doctor said it was a severely inflamed throat. By that time, Max had calmed down. He coughed a little during the night, but nothing distressing.
We were not given anything at the ER, but our regular vet gave us antibiotics in the morning.
