one sickness leads to something else So yesterday afternoon my mom gave Callie her liquid pain medicine for me and Callie some how aspirated it into her nasal passages and had lots of sneezing and wheezing but it would stop and start. Benadrly made it mostly stop completely. Anyway I was up all night with her and on the phone with the vet as soon as they opened and took her in. Vet heard nothing in the chest and feels it is her nasal passages that are inflamed and to give benadryl every 8 hours and watch her for a few days. If not getting better or better in a few days then she needs to be seen again. Well I opted for chest x-rays anyway because something just told me to do it and no fluid but her heart is enlarged. The enlarged heart has nothing to do with her issues she went in for though. So after she is better from this she needs to go see a cardiologist and get a sonogram of her heart done. I am so very stressed right now. My vet says that there is a common thing that yorkies get as they age where one of the flaps to the heart gets thickened and doesn't close all the way and that we might be looking at that but we wont know until the sonogram is done. Prayers and good thoughts for Callie would be great. Thank you.
