I have Bella back at home, and she is almost completely back to normal. Her lung x-ray came back clear, and her trachea x-ray showed no signs of collapsed trachea. She's still a little groggy from the sedation they gave her for the x-ray, but she's beginning to eat a little, and she has stopped coughing. The total charge was $340 for the emergency room visit and I am extremely pleased with the care she received. The emergency room vet and student interns were all doting on her
