As you may remember, Sugar has been wheezing for 3 months now. She has been on Clavamox and Baytril, had chest and head x rays, and had a tooth removed. While there is improvement, nothing was solving the problem. Then it came time for her second cataract surgery and the surgeon won't work on her until we resolve this issue.
So today Sugar had an appt with the vet Ear Nose and Throat specialist. After the exam, he explained how they would proceed: under anesthesia, they put a scope up each nostril to see if they can find anything; scope up from the back of the mouth into the sinus cavity for the same thing. If they find any foreign matter, polyps or tumor, they deal with it. If not, then on to the MRI to see what shows up.
The intent was that today would be the exam and return for the work. Well, they had openings and so Sugar stayed and I came home. Depending when they can get to her I may pick her up today or she may stay the night.
All during the exam, I kept telling Sugar she was staying with me. Then suddenly, they whisked her off. She was NOT happy!! I LIED to her!
I always worry when they use anesthesia, and so I would appreciate prayers for all this to be successful; and also that they FIND something and can easily deal with it!!! I HATE these "exploratory" ventures, on humans OR my pets!
Sugar is 10.5 years of age. Thanks!
