Little Lottie gave us quite a scare recently! Her owner had taken her for a walk the day before, then noticed that Lottie’s breathing started to sound a bit funny. She brought her in to us the following afternoon as the noises got worse throughout the day. Lottie bounded into the clinic as normal, but the excitement got to be too much for her, and she started to really struggle for breath. The team gave her some oxygen and light sedation to calm her. Once she was stabilised some quick x-rays were taken and swelling was noticed in the area of her larynx. The next step was to transfer her to Vet Group to have a look with the endoscope (a small camera) to see if Lottie had ingested a foreign body that had somehow managed to get stuck. No foreign body was found, but her larynx definitely looked sore and swollen! There was a wound at the front of it, as well as a sore on the roof of her mouth. The trauma had caused a lot of inflammation and the area had already started to get infected.
Lottie was given a lot of different medications to help to treat the infection, and to try and reduce the swelling. She was also kept in an oxygen cage. She had a good recovery from the anaesthesia and was already sounding much quieter, but it was decided to keep a close eye on her overnight. This was a good decison as 5 hours later she suddenly deteriorated and was struggling to breath again. She then had to be anaethetised for a second time to insert a tube into her trachea (her windpipe) for her to breath through. Her larynx was so swollen that only a small cat tube would fit, but this was good enough to keep her supplied with oxygen. Lottie then had to remain under anaesthesia to give the swelling time to go down. Otherwise her only remaining option would be a tracheostomy. This is where a hole is made in the neck straight into the trachea. The animal can then breath through this hole temporarily and bypass the swelling at the larynx. Lottie was woken up after about 10 hours of anesthesia to asses her breathing and monitor her for any setbacks. Luckily for Lottie she has not looked back since then!
