Once again, Princess is in the hospital....
 

Is this gonna ever end? Last night Princess started having a little bit of labored breathing (keep in mind she has been on Clavamox for 4 days). Luckily, my future brother in laws girlfriend, who is a vet, was in town for the weekend. She listened to Princess and said it would probably be best to take her back to hospital bc something wasnt right. Well, we drove her back down to Charlotte and they took her in immediately and said she was defintely gonna stay the night in the incubator. We the got a call at midnight and the vet said they took more xrays and found a hole in Princess' lung. She said Princess was bouncy and eating, but they needed to get out the air that had escaped her lungs and went to her belly. They call it "tapping" (they use a needle to suck the air out). The doctor said he hoped that this hole will mend itself and, if not, we might have to put a chest tube in her!!!!! They need to do some more tests and they said if worst comes to worst, they might have to give her a trachea wash. What is going on? We saw her this morning and she acts so normal. She was trying to bite off her bootie that has all the iv's in it (they have her on more meds). The only thing is her breathing sounds a LITTLE bad. Thsi poor puppy has been through so much. I want her to live, but I do not want her to suffer through any of this. We told the doctor to do what he needs to do, but if it gets to a point where he thinks she might be suffering to let us know. This is so weird bc she really is acting great and not anything like she was a week ago. I hope that is a good sign. :confused:

I am so sorry for you and Princess.
My thoughts and prayers are with you! I cab't even imagine what you guys are going through. Keep up the FAITH .

That's horrible! Keep us updated on Princess!!!! :(

Oh my, I am so sorry you and her are both going through this. How long does the vet want to give the hole to mend before he considers a tube? Geez, I hope it heals itself very quickly!!!
