Narrowed Trachea

[John Popp]

Dino was admitted this afternoon and will spend the night at the Surgical Center.. He'll get scoped in the morning and we'll see what the issue is.

The emergency room vet also had a remote conversation with the specialist and the primary concern is the trachea. Lots of details but I'll wait until I have some results.

Also, this is the referral surgical center that fixed Chongo's hip so I have a great deal of confidence in them. Hopefully Dino will avoid going under the knife.

Thanks for posting the xrays! Lots of pressure; pushing "up" narrows trach, like you feel when you drink too much Rootbeer...cats don't belch that I know of....? But those Bowel Movements should help with some of it; the scope will show if there's anything caught, guess I'm just not a "sit back & see" kinda person. Hoping it's all cleared & he gets a good report! He does have a beautiful spine & heart tho!!!!

Poor Dino, but the specialist will help and I'm sure you are keeping Sue abreast of everything. I know she worries about her kids too.

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that he doesn't require surgery, that the ailment is not serious, and that his recovery is fast.

Spoke with Sue this evening, I know she's always concerned about her kids.

Everything is just happening really quick and although he first displayed symptoms 4 days ago, I didn't witness them until yesterday morning.

Just glad he's stable and we'll have some sort of remedy or a plan tomorrow.

Morning Update, received a call from the vet and Dino is not being very cooperative so I'm scheduled to go down at 1:00 this afternoon. He didn't have any episodes overnight and only started honking when they were trying to get him out of the crate.

The specialist he is seeing asked a lot of questions and downplayed the trachea narrowing as a primary culprit. Instead she is more focused on what he may have ingested and getting an updated set of X-rays. Bloodwork was never done despite Trish asking for it at the emergency clinic and everyone believing he hadn't ingested any poison. Both the vet visits Trish took Dino to there was some extremely critical care with other patients, so I have some understanding as to how it got passed over.

Anyway, off to the vets office in a little bit to get my little cheetah out of his cave. Cracks me up with him being the tough guy, only happens when I'm not around.
