Sorry I don't know how to respond directly to someone's question--- [MENTION=7260]Chumley[/MENTION], I don't think it was caused by the nares or the anesthesia. He recovered well from the anesthesia and was extubated with no issues and awake. He came home slightly drowsy which they said was expected and the next morning he was much more awake. Then he just started throwing up blood out of no where and when they performed emergency surgery because it turned into a full blown hemorrhage situation, the surgeon said there was no open areas of active bleeding and he was just bleeding from the soft palate being so inflamed swollen and irritated. That was the main issue.

This is why I was so grateful our vet took Mabel home with him after her surgery 3 years ago. We live an hour away from an emergency vet. I would have never forgiven myself if this had happened and we couldn't have gotten her help. Thank goodness he is on the mend and they're watching him closely.

Update: Beef has made almost a full recovery!!!!! He's finally home with us, sleeping on the kitchen floor right now. I just picked him up and brought him home. He is such a strong pup...he went through SO MUCH these last few days and pulled through like a fighter. The vet said this was a miracle and that in all her years of veterinary medicine, she has never sent a dog home who had a cardiac arrest event. I'm so so so thankful and grateful for the man upstairs and for all of the love and support beef and I have received. He's doing so much better, his breathing is quieter and very minimal snoring!! Gums and tounge are nice and pink, and he seems very comfortable. we also got sent home with anti nausea medication and 2 different antibiotics for the aspiration pnuemonia. Thank you all again for everything, we are very grateful <3

We had a great night, very uneventful. My boyfriend slept out on the couch last night with beef on the living room floor. He's been very quiet and calm since bringing him home. He seems traumatized...like every little noise makes him jumpy. He also seems kinda mad at us and not very excited about anything....which I totally do not blame him for. He's been through a lot and I think he remembers a lot of if to be honest. But the breathing is great, gums and tounge are pink, and only 1 episode of vomiting (white phlegm, no blood!) this morning after breakfast. He's doing wonderful.

So glad he is ok! What a horrible experience. I'm sure he will get over it soon, it's still fresh in his mind.. a little extra loving and he will forget all about it.

Thank GOD and your vet, and Beef's determination to live, that he has made it through this.
You are lucky to have such a good Dr. Beef must be just exhausted with all he had gone through. It is good that he is resting,and can regroup his strength! God bless you all,you have been through alot,and he made it!!!:up::clap::victory:
