The continuing saga of my dogs cough! She has now had a throat and chest x-ray and endoscopy. Nothing throat, lungs and stomach all clear. slight swelling under neck. but x- ray picks up nothing. He says the next step is an MRI!! She is sensitive to touch in throat area. Coughs and throws up in early morning. Coughs when overexerted. I really want get done as soon as possible. I am a single mum with 4 kids. i do have RSPCA pet insurance which covers 80% but i will not have the sort of money it will cost up front. RSPCA advised get payment plan from vet and as insurance pays they get paid. Does anyone know a compassionate vet specialist in Sydney that could help me? She is like one of the family and hate seeing her suffer!!
beth P- Why does your dog do that? is it normal? And as to trachea- x-ray and endoscopy are clear trachea normal!? I have a theory but dont know anyone who has had a dog who it has happenened to. Around the time symtoms started she was chasing and trying to catch Bee’s in the clover. I think one has stung her in back of throat.? Her throat isn’t swollen just underneath throat x-ray shows small swelling. but there is no lump,?
as to credit card. on single parent pension. banks won’t even consider me for credit! plus would get me further in debt!!

    You can apply for a care credit card which is very good. Also maybe find vet who takes payments. I would also wonder about her trachea collapsing. Many dogs have this problem and do cough after exertion and eating and barking. Also has she been checked for heart worm? I know my poodle will cough and gag if I even touch his throat or he lays it on something as some dogs are sensitive to that but if there is swelling then something must be going on. ? Cornell. I would apply for care credit through vets office. Low interest and they are good with payment plans. Good luck I hope she gets better.
