I really don't think that could be it but will try it. If she doesn't get any better in 14 days the next step is to do a bronchoscope and wash. I still feel it was caused by the bordetella oral vaccine. I gave her the anti-vaccinosis for 2 days and am hopeful that will help.
The UT doctors will probably call me today and I am going to discuss with her the side effects of the vaccine and ask them to call the company that produces it. I hope it is not something she has to live with the rest of her life. I looked up the side effects and she has all of them except lethargy. She WILL never get the bordetella vaccine again! |
SO glad you went to UT. It's your best chance of getting the correct answer here.
I hope the answer comes sooner than later. It can be a bit of journey w/ stuff such as this, so try to patient...I know you want an answer asap. I would too.
And lastly, go with your gut and keep pushing to explore vaccinosis if you think it's that. You could very well be correct!
Keep us posted, would love to hear that she is eventually doing better.
