OMG i don't believe what they've just told me he's still under. The tube they used must not have been big enough so he was still breathing around it and woke up slightly. He then bit through the tube and it's gone down his airway they are now trying to get it out. idiots!!!! If he dies because they messed up

Sending a million vibes for Digby and ((HUGS)) for you.

Just spoke to vet again. Digby is waking up now, thank god. Tracheotomy went fine and shouldn't cause him any problems apparently. I just hope it isn't so sore that it stops him eating he has had his teeth done and swabs from his ears. Please let him be alright

God I missed this thread. How awful for you and him. Lots and lots of nose rubs from me and Hector.

Digby has been given some steroids by the vet after his tracheotomy. Is this ok? Can he still have metacam? He needs metacam for his arthritis and I'm sure he will have a sore throat

Hector was given some stronger painkiller by injection last night which made him a little sleepy. I was told to continue with the metacam as there was no interaction between the two - it seems that it is "good" from that point of view. If one thinks about it, Emeprid is a steroid based I think(?) so, hopefully, it will be ok. It is worth asking the vet the direct question though.

What an horrid situation.

THIS http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=1752 may help you in discussing it with your vet if you are lacking in confidence in your vet given what has happened - I guess until you know precisely what they are thinking of prescribing you can't really interpret it at all.

No, he cant have Metacam and a steroid. Have they actually performed a tracheostomy -ie cut a hole in his trachea.

The steroid should provide anti-inflammatory relief for his arthritis. I am assuming he will be given antibiotic cover ?

Yes they did have to cut it open, and stitch it back up i have just rung again and he is still very sleepy going to call back in an hour. Will check about antibiotics, thanks x
