I am Luke's Mom. We lost him last week to CT he was just 3 years old. What I would suggest is to try to tape record on your phone the sound or do a video of him when you come home. That will give the vet something to see/hear.
Surgery is usually determined by the vet after a series of other things and several types of x-rays.
What I do encourage is if he is diag with CT - to do a scope to get a base line of the area - to work with. From what we went thru the x-rays gave some good info - we had the basic x-ray, then we had the Fluoroscopy- which showed some of the areas better than the basic x-ray. and finally we had the VMC Bronochoscopy - which showed the true damage of the CT.
The Bronochoscopy showed an area where the scope could not go past, but with the air in the trachea the x-rays gave the true story.
If your dog has CT and is getting worst, do the Bronochoscopy to know actually what is going on. This is a wealth of info in making correct decisions for your dog and much better than regular x-rays.
I first started with a natural trachea cough soother syrup, that I got on Amazon that helped right at first. it was by Paw Healer, and it went on from there.
Good Luck with your baby. |
