I'm just hoping this doesn't happen again--wish I knew how he got it. To answer the above poster, he didn't have his anals cleaned out and I never knew that could be dangerous. I definitely have to keep that in mind.

I'm so happy to hear that Hershey is doing so well. That's very, very good news!

Hi. So happy everything is going well and Hershey is on the mend! YAY!
Were you given anti-inflammatory meds and any acepromazine to give at a later time?

My 7 yo TeddE is in Purdue Hospital Critical Care right now. I dropped him off for he will be there overnight before any thing will be done. He is in the oxygen cage and is very heavily sedated. I was told they will be doing a fluoroscopy of his trachea, for that is a very good diagnostic tool for this condition. Of course he might have to be intubated, if the worse happens tonight and I am praying that is NOT the case!

If all goes well and he calms down, tests are tomorrow to determine what to do to help him. But this does not go away. It does worsen in time. TeddE has had this for four years now. First I was told reverse sneeze, just a cough etc. Then collapsed trachea. Soft palate issue. He had a terrible time trying to breath yesterday at the vet and thru the night.

I don't mean to pry, I am just trying to find information. When my vet said to just keep him calm three years ago, I never dreamed it would eventually get so bad he would be in the hospital or I would have demanded the test right there and then!!

Sending love to you and Hershey!! Such great news!!

Sounds like it could have started as a lung infection that maybe got worse and now has a infection in his blood. My prayers to Hersey and with you and your family. Please keep us posted.

On Sat I brought him to the groomer and his was fine the entire day and night. Sunday morning he woke up not breathing very well. I figured it was just the trachea acting up so I gave him his meds and we went out for the day. I came home to find that he was vomiting all over the house a bile type look to it. It was too late to go to the vet so I figured I would wait until morning. At three this morning he woke me up with awful breathing sounds. I stayed up with him in my lap until it was light out. He kept spitting up again. I brought him to the hospital and they found he had 104 temp. His bloodwork came back fine as well as his trachea and heart. They found something wrong with his lungs but are not sure what it is. They ran tests but bc of the holiday they wont get results until tomorrow. They are leaning twoards an infection bc of the fever. If not an infection, what else could it be? He is in an oxygen cage hooked up to monitors now and they said he is critical. Have you had any experience with his? what could it be and could he get better or will he die?

How is he?Lucky999

I'm so glad to hear Hershey is back to normal

, Yeah! Just some info, I found if they don't wan't want to eat after surgery or an illness try some boiled chicken breast or some vienna sausage, they LOVE IT! Not too much though but some or try mixing some in their food, chicken is good has lots of vitamins.
