Poor Canelo. Now the right middle lobe of his lung has collapsed. The vet can't get it to re-inflate and we don't know why this happened. Canelo also turned blue while they were taking new x-rays ... he couldn't breathe.He's been in an oxygen tent since yesterday. Hopefully he can be released today and go back to his foster home. (Yes, we found a foster home for him!)
More tests are needed than originally thought ... this poor boy has been through so much! He hasn't been able to shake off the pneumonia entirely either.
We're hoping it's fungal and then they can hit him with the right anti-fungal meds. I sure hope it's not bacteria resistant or a virus ... then we're kinda up a creek, so to speak. If that's the case, it's a matter of getting his body stronger so he can fight this off.
It can also be COPD (lung disease) or PIE syndrome (Pulmonary infiltration with eosinophilia; a disease of dogs of unknown origin.
We need help for his medical bills and his subsequent treatment. Click Here to donate via Paypal.
Thank you for caring about this little sweetie.
