PierreThePoodle

Pierre went to the vet on Friday for his xray. Cindy, his mom, was so apprehensive to go.... afraid of bad news.
She had nothing to fear!
Dr Scott took the xrays and to everyone's surprise there was no longer a curve in Pierre's trachea, and there was no mass or tumor anywhere. It seems that there was perhaps fluid, creating an infection, causing Pierre's coughing and breathing issues.
The vet did say, given Pierre's age, it could happen again....or might not ever happen again.
At this point, the vet wants to start weaning Pierre off his meds, and see him in a month for another xray.
Cindy is, and will be, forever grateful for the help she has received for Pierre's vet bill. She would love to thank every one of you individually (with a hug, she says! :-) ) if she could.

I will be leaving this page up for any additional donations anyone would like to make as Pierre will be having another costly vet visit in a month. So for any of you who would like to donate again, or perhaps tell a friend about it, I would appreciate it greatly. Remember, no amount is too small.
Thank you all so much! You are great friends to us all!

In mid December Pierre had a cough that would not go away, so his momma took him to the vet. It looked like possible Tracheobronchitis and temaril-p was prescribed.
It seemed to help a little, but the cough was still there. Another trip to the vet and an xray and other tests were done.
The xray showed a curvature in his windpipe and a suspicious looking mass in his lung pushing against it. Making it difficult for him to breathe.
It is not known if the curvature has been there since birth, and just now causing trouble. Stronger meds and steroids were prescribed.
After being on the meds for about a month, they seem to be helping. Pierre is breathing easier and coughing less.
He is even playing and running like the old Pierre!
His momma is heartsick over Pierre, very worried about what might be the problem. They are overwhelmed by the love and support that all Pierre's anipals have shown, and appreciate it so much!
Pierre needs to go back to the vet to have another xray and additional tests done, to check on the mass among other things.
Pierre's momma has been trying to keep up with the vet bills, as we all know, can be costly.
They have helped many anipals in the past, and know it is our chance to help them.
I have set up this chipin to help us help them. Please think about contributing to Pierre's vet bill if you can. No amount is too small.

Thank you all so much!
