 Last Resort for Trachea Collapse
This is the last resort! Hydrocod/HOM - is for coughing only - was told this again yesterday from the specialty vet. His fluoroscopy shows the collapse- on a scale of 1-4 - he is a 3 1/2 and said it is time to be done. We are out of options.
He burden in breathing is lasting for hours now, Hydrocod hasn't worked, if I don't do this he will sufficate. Just hope that it hasn't spread yet to the bronchi because there isn't anything that can be done.
Feel confident in the surgeon as she work with Vet in NY and he is doing trachea specialty work for many years.
He just turned 3 and noticed his first honking at 6 months. So glad I bought Trupanion on these two dogs (also have his sister) He is 4lb 2oz. Never had a color on - maybe a buddy harness 3-4 times but no major walking on leash, not an outside dog at all or has ever been or ever will be. Very pampered as well as his sister.
Pre operation scope done 8-7 - surgery on 8-8. |
