Hello all,
We have finally found what is the condition of Thumbela.
Yesterday after several previously wrong diagnoses,the doctors at the Animal Hospital,found out that Thumbela has hypoplastic,a very narrow trachea,that usually is more common in English Bulldogs.
Unfortunately there are no treatments,as the doctors told us,for this kind of condition.
We just need to deal with that on every day basis,being very careful in warm weather,.but we are already way tooo careful with both our babies (Gustave and Her),and she may need to be on steroids,.we are trying to avoid that because there are so many side effects,and we may start with "steroids Inhaling therapy",we will discuss it with the doctors next week.
In the meantime,Thumbela is happy as ever,she eats well,she sleeps a lot,she play with Gustave,.and she is very loud!!
Thank you all for your support,during this time.
Marco and the babies
