The vet says, from the video, it sounds like the muscles around her larynx are spasming and causing her to cough. So it could be the tumors on her neck are what’s causing it. Not really anything we can do about it at her age, I don’t think.
They are still urging me to get a dental done on her, but I just can’t bring myself to have her knocked out and get all that stuff done. She’s so old and her over all general health isn’t the greatest. And I certainly can’t afford the cost of either of the procedures. They were happy to give me another script for amoxicillin for her mouth (a month this time, I think), and if she needs to just be on antibiotics off and on for the rest of her life, so be it. It’s safer than putting her under anesthesia at her age I think.
Do you guys think I’m wrong? I mean, for real?? I’m trying to do what I think is best for her. I feel like anesthesia just isn’t a viable option for her. I dunno, maybe I worry too much lol So long as she’s happy and kicking (and biting…. LOL) I guess I’ll just do what I’m doing.
