Dasher has laryngial paralysis(update post 45)

[dukedogsmom]

Thanks again I talked to the surgeon. He says sometimes they never find what causes this. I had forgotten about Dasher starting to stumble the last few days until he asked me if Dasher had been falling or having trouble walking. His right back leg gives out just a little every once in a while. Its possible this is a neurological problem and that could get worse. Or maybe enough oxygen wasn't getting to his brain? Anyway, tomorrow morning I sign papers for his operation. He'll have to stay there at least one night, maybe two. I have to work tomorrow night but I'm off next two days. Taking tonight off. I'm going to go see him in just a bit and I'll give him all the love he's gotten here :heart: I'm going to go get our pics after the vet. I'm so glad I did that. The main thing is him waking up from being put under. Its rough on older dogs and he's almost 12. Life is full of chances. I took a chance adopting him. Now one more. He's worth it.

Any news on our sweet handsome Dasher this morning?

[dukedogsmom]

No news yet. They couldn't give me a time when they'd be starting. Just this afternoon. He did say he might not be finished before I leave for work a little after 6, which is two hours.

Your in my thoughts I can imagine how stressful this is. Bless you for adopting a senior boy, he knows he is loved.

I just talked to the vet. He said Dasher did well and the airway looks good. He may get to come home tomorrow Thanks for all the good thoughts. I have missed him so much. Tonight is my third night without him.
