She had the surgery about 3 weeks ago. I can't remember the medical terms but it sounds right. I was more concerned about her being in the cage at the vets than the surgery itself. She was a pound puppy and has always hated cages/crates. The breathing problem came on really gradually with our lab. Apparently she compensated for months by learning to shallow breath and slowly becoming less active so she lost muscle mass in her hind leg. As soon as the sutures came out (10 days after surgery) we began taking her on short walks every day to get her a bit stronger.Originally posted by KathyTX
The regular vet said that they suture something open to help the breathing- is that the laryngeal flap?Just hearing that your dog was also older and that she's doing well is good. How long ago did she have the surgery?
