Ok basically long story short is Serena has had respiratory problems since about June last year.
Initially she was treated with Baytril which cleared up the initial infection. However today is her fourth trip since June.
Each time she has been treated with Baytril injections as oral Baytril just didn't work.
Her last trip before today was before Christmas. However about mid January i started to hear a rattle when she was breathing.
Now i monitored her and tried various alternative treatments but took her back to the vet today as nothing had worked.
Please note if she had detrioated at any stage i would have taken her to the vet.
Anyway after discussions with my vet today we have reached the conclusion that had it been an infection she wouldn't still be here.
Backed up by the fact that there is no mucus or sneezing.
He did a thorough examination (much more so than the vets previously) and said that her chest is not the problem but her throat is.
He said that it could be an obstruction/inhaled piece of food.
So she had another Baytril injection and is back tomorrow to see if there is any improvement.
If there isn't then we need to re think as to what the problem may be.
He mentioned a wanting to get a good look at her throat but isnt keen to have her under a GA at this stage.
So now i'm worried about what the outcome will be
