Dasher has laryngial paralysis(update post 45)

[dukedogsmom]

I'm really scared right now. He could hardly breath. We're at the vet now. He's got to spend the night in an oxygen chamber before he can be evaluated tomorrow. There is an operation for it but its not without risks. Such as putting him under for it and then possible pneumonia afterwards. The surgeon will do xrays and such tomorrow afternoon. I'm a wreck. I wasn't expecting things this soon. If it is his time, I want him to go in his sleep. I don't want to have to make that decision again

Here's hoping he finds some relief, trouble breathing is no fun for anyone. You and he will be in our prayers.

Hugs for you. I know you're going thru hell right now. If there is anything I can do let me know.

I've asked my RB girls Sami and Sasha to keep a close eye.

Prayers from RI for Dasher!

Thanks so much. It means a lot. I called on the way to work to see how he was doing. He's sleeping and breathing a little easier. I had told Nancy the pet psychic that he was very sick and she wanted a pic. She got it and said he was feeling so much joy. He was saying ihe knows I love him. I don't have to keep telling him. I do that all the time. She said he is very strong mentally and he was really clear to read. She said since he had been sedated, it was hard to read his body. She also said he was 110% sure I loved him. Before he always wondered just a tiny bit, like 1%. She said he's at peace and very happy. She told me that's a gift. Most people contact her wondering if their dog loved them and was happy. She told her friend that she was feeling so happy from reading him. He's sending out such joy. Before I left him this afternoon, I opened up the door to his oxygen kennel and petted him. He perked up and looked so happy. Whatever happens at least I know he's happy and at peace.

I'm so sorry Val I know what you mean about letting them go in their sleep its so hard to make that decision. I don't know anything about larynginal paralysis but I will keep praying for him.

Thinking of you and Dasher, wondering how he's doing this morning.

[dukedogsmom]

Much thanks to you all. Last night was a hard one. I had to work. I just talked to the vet. He's doing much better. He's been off oxygen since 4 and no panting. But he hasn't been moving, either. Surgeon comes in sometime in the afternoon and he'll decide when or if the surgery is needed. I know it is. He's been panting a lot the last few days. Thanks to everyone. I know I don't get here a lot but its so good to come here. The house is so quiet today. I've got one of his favorite stuffies with me on the bed.
