🙏🙏🙏🙏 for Cali! |
Ok so Callie finished her antibiotics a few days ago. Although she is better then she was I think we are at a stand still and its not getting better anymore. She has her recheck tomorrow and I'm not sure what the next step is. She still sounds very stopped up and snotty in her nose. Some times she is even opening her mouth to breath because her nose is so stopped up and its not panting because her tongue is not out. There are times I can hear her breathing across the room. This is absolutely not in her chest just her nose so I'm not sure whats up. I wanted to clear this up before going to the cardiologist and was going to call and make the cardiologist appointment Tuesday but I don't want her on her back for a sonogram while she has this because the snot kinda drips backwards that way. I really hope my vet can figure this out. Please continue prayers and good thoughts for Callie. Penny will be going with her tomorrow so she can get her DAP vaccine. |
Hoping her re-check goes well. Beau snorts and snores very loudly due to seasonal allergies (year-round in Florida). If he is uncomfortable, we give him children's benedryl, but most of the time he is just fine. It stays in his head, and does not move to his chest...even at 13. We can frequently hear him across the room too, lol. Sending good thoughts for both Callie, and you! (((hugs))) |
Keeping Callie in my thoughts and prayers. |

Prove it to my Callie to be a very unique case....... she has never had a dog that stayed this congested where the antibiotics and benadrly did not help. So it gets more complected. She has referred me to an internist. So that they can pretty much put her under anesthesia and scope her nose and flush it at the same time if necessary. There is a small chance of cancer but because of how it popped up that is not very likely but there could be something in there that shouldn't be. I told her there is no way I can afford the cardiologist and the internist and she said that shes showing no symptoms of a heart issue so the internist is more important right now. She also mentioned the internist could also look at the xrays and give an opinion on her heart. So tomorrow I will be calling to make the appointment with the internist and hope and pray its just something that needs to be flushed out. I'm so stressed right now and worried and everything else. Due to the internist being a simi good distance from me I plan to ask them on the phone if I should fast her before her appointment so if she needs a procedure they can do it then. |
So sorry to hear that there are no clear cut answers yet, and know how stressed you must be! There are lots of us who are following Callie's process, and appreciate the updates. Hope that the internist can see her soon, and that it is all good news. Please try not to let yourself go to the direst possibilities, and we will all pray that a "nose flush" will be all she needs! |
So apparently you can’t get into a specialist for what I consider a more emergent case fast. The one specialist can not get me in until the 13th. I found one local that can get me in Monday! I’m taking Callie to the regular vet tomorrow for blood work and to have that printed out for me, the xrays of her heart and they want copies of everything that has to do with her treatment of the nose. I’m fasting her for her appointment Monday so if possible they can do the scope at that time. I’m so frustrated it’s gone on this long and I just want relief for her. Neither of us is sleeping well at night. |
Praying for your baby to get better soon....:( |
So sorry Taylor! Hope that the procedure can be done on Monday, and that Callie will finally find some relief. (((hugs))) |
Keep is posted! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for Callie getting some relief! |
So we went to the internist today...... the vet was very worried about her weight loss so they did a total sonogram of her abdomen and all her organs the good news is there is no cancer! Her liver and adrenal glands are slightly larger but that is due to her Cushings. We were going to do that scope of her nose and they always take a biopsy when they do that. Well they went to take her blood pressure and it was way to high like top number should be 120 and hers was 220. They brought her out to me to hold for 15 minutes and then wanted to recheck the blood pressure but there was no change. With the high blood pressure there would have been a higher risk of heavy bleeding from the biopsy site so we need that to go down. They put her on 2 blood pressure medicines as well as a very strong antibiotic. We go back next Monday at 9am and they will take blood pressure and if good they will do the scope. It is also looking like the more natural way of treating her cushings is no longer working so we will need to decided whether to put her on the prescription medicine which will require lots of testing. |
I am so sorry to hear that your challenges seem to keep going on. I was hoping that today's visit would bring Callie the relief she deserves, and bring you peace of mind. I am glad to hear that cancer seems to be off the table! Hang in there, and thanks for keeping us updated. There are many of us out here who are rooting for you! (((hugs))) |
Thanks for the update. Now we wait and pray I guess! |
