Let me just start and say I'm looking for a bit of advice and help with what Oscar is going through . I will not let him suffer . As of right now he's ok in the day . At night is when I'm seeing I few issues . Would like a few stories if you don't mind sharing . And feel free to pm me with anything question or help and advice.
Sorry it's a little long. If there's spelling mistakes sorry . Not much sleep this week. Worrying about my little buddy
Hi Lisa . My frenchie just reasontlly acting a little different while sleeping. So I was concerned and took him to my vet. The vet said it was allergies. I called bs on it while I was there. He insisted it was. 3 days later his breathing pattern started to worsen. So I took him back. Now my dog loves going for walks and car rides. So he gets excited. And I mean overly excited. Witch caused him to. Pant heavier than normal. The vet is 5 min fro my house. By time we got there his panting was so bad. It was causing great difficulties to breath. It was very scary to see knowing I could calm him down. His temp went up to 107 his eyes glazed over and he couldn't stand. I love my dog like people love there kids. I was tearing up cause I thought I was going to lose my second frenchie . The vet was concerned now . Oh and I forgot to mention that the first time we took him in. I said I could hear weird noises going on in his what I thought sound like they where in his tummy and close to his neck. He still insisted it was allergies. Ok back to it . He was still trying to play it off that it could be a allergie and wanted me to finish the Ned's he perscribed. At that point I got made and voice up. Asked him to take a x-Ray of his tummy and chest. Well it showed that he has a bit of a enlarge heart. So they got sent to specialist . They back with its a collapsed treacea . I was very concerned . So I did some research and figured I'd take him for a third opinion . This specialist had good reviews. He took a couple looks at the x-Rays and called and asked to bring him in. Witch I did want to do cause the last episode. Anyway. He took one look at my dog and listened to the breathing . Asked me some question about breathing and vomiting ang grunting and so on. He said he's almost 100% sure it's brachycephalic airway syndrome . But the only way to know 100% is to scope him. But the worry is he could die just doing that. Cause of the sysdation . And the cost to scope him is $3000 and $2500 for the surgery if it is bsas. He's 6 years old and in good health besides this . The hearth both specialist said doesn't look to be a big issue. So I'm real stuck I love my little guy and won't let him suffer. The hard part is during the day he seems to ok for the most part . I little wessy and grunts a little more than normal. But at night he's realizing there's I issue and his breathing will go from now snoring to breathing long gasps of air with a snore . To a weird sounding I don't know how to explain a small breath witha very broken wine to it . To short breaths to stopping breathing for 15 sec or so to a huge gasp coming out that some times scares him now and will get him to his feet and seem dazed. So it seem like he could die if I do scope or he's dying a slow death if I dont . Witch I won't see him suffer. I have videos of these episodes so we went back tonight and they think it apena . I this that's what they said. And they said as long as it's only 15 sec and his lips and gums rant going blue. Then he's ok for now . But if they get him in asap cause the oxygen . So I don't know what to do. Want to see if this could be posted and see if other have went through this and the out comes. When he 6 month old he got really sick and said seemed like I was going to lose him. They could not figure it out . Called me 7 days later and said come in. I thought it was to say good by . But nope . They whent to see how he was opened the cage and booked to the play area. They could never come up with what it was. Till I found one of my roommate plants hidden. It was eaten. Looked up the plant . It was some sort of tropical plant that is poisiones to animals. And can kill them with in 24 hours. They said if I didn't know when it was eaten it might not have showed up on test if it doesn't stay in the system long . $8200 later and he's still here. I'd just like some input and some stories of other and the dissions they made . And info on good surgeons for this type of thing
Thank you Chris
