Gypsy Has CT! I've just got back from taking Gypsy to the vets and it seems that she has CT. The vet isn't overly concerned at the minute because I can control her breathing when she does it and the vet said that the way I've been doing it is right and that if that's working for her then I should carry it on without medication. She only does it when I get back after leaving her for a few hours or when people come over and she gets too excited... so hopefully we'll be able to get away with not relying on medication for a while untill it gets worse. Poor little Gypsy! :( |

Iam so sorry, poor babie, sending good thoughts and hugs your way. |
I'm so sorry for Gypsy but I think it is very common. Teddi probably has this slightly because she does this coughing/sneezing thing every once in a while but the vet said it is very common and nothing needs to be done unless she it seems to bother her and it only happens a few times a week. I'm sure Gypsy will be just fine. The steroids aren't good for dogs (or people) so hopefully it won't come to that!!! Can't wait to see the baby! Come on baby!!! :) |
Poor baby. What exactly do you do to control it? I think it's fabulous if you can manage it without medications. |

Talk gently and reassuringly and tell her to calm down and sit Tilt her head back slightly to open the airway more and gently massage her throat This is what I've been doing and it works perfectly for us :D |
Awwwww poor Gypsy :( You are a good mama doing all the right things for her, she's lucky to have you~ |
aw poor gypsy:( i'm glad that it's not too bad though, and that she doesn't need to take any med for it |
Vicky, I'm so sorry that Miss Gypsy has TC! My Mozart has had it for some years, and does fine unless I try to walk him on leash. I don't use a collar on him, either - but, even the pressure of a harness bothers him. So, he stays at home, when Abigail gets walked :cry:. I feel quite guilty leaving him behind. |
Vicky - sorry to hear about Gypsy. :( I hope it doesn't get worse. She is still really young, isn't she? Gee, if you're that good at calming her down, imagine how good you'll be with AG!!!:) |
My little Dylan has CT also. It is caused by genetics and can be aggravated by intubating for surgery or kennel cough. My little guy is only 2 years old (tomorrow) and has had it since he was neutered at 8 mths. He is not on medication either but he is having more and more honking episodes (when excited). My new vet suggested using a nebulizer so I ordered one from ebay. I hope it helps. My vet is against the medications also if we can keep it under control without them. Keeping them trim and in shape is also suppose to help. I hope Gypsy continues to do well and doesn't require meds for a long time. The surgery is also pretty risky and should only be done if absolutely necessary. |

So sorry to hear about Gypsy. I hope that she does ok with the new bundle of joy you'll be bringing home - I know there are a lot of emotions for these little ones when someone takes their mommy's time. |
