So I heard back from the vet...and the specialist said YES that her esophagus appears to be slightly enlarged [emoji22][emoji22] however he did say that he wanted to do more targeted X-rays when she heals from the pneumonia to see if itās really enlarged or it was temporary.
Iām sort of just taking it all in that she really might have this issue. Out of an abundance of caution, weāre keeping here upright for a bit after she eats right now...

Iām waiting for the vet to call me back today. She doesnāt seem any better, I actually think her cough has gotten worse and she sounds just as congested as ever. Iām going to ask for a stronger antibiotic.
I know vets try to start will a lighter treatment but Iām just like ok time for the strong stuff. Itās heartbreaking her little cough is so pathetic and she looks so scared when it happens.

So I got a stronger antibiotic yesterday and a bronchodilator for Regina. Thankfully Keithās dad was around and picked it up from the vet for me because I was swamped at work.
We gave her the new medicine with dinner last night and then about 40 minutes later she threw up most of her food. In bulldog parent style we dug through the puke looking for the medicine...I donāt think she threw it up, at least not the antibiotic. Maybe some of the bronchodilator because of how it dissolved. So far so good this morning. She coughed a lot but didnāt throw up her breakfast. She did make me hand feed her and I gladly indulged her.

Weāre on the mend!!!! Regina tried to eat Ruckusās breakfast yesterday after she devoured hers ā and she hasnāt been wanting to eat much while sick ā so I think sheās feeling a lot better! The congestion sounds better also!!! Woot woot. Weāre going back for some follow up X-rays to check on the mega-e issue but since sheās feeling better and not having issues after eating that arenāt related to the coughing (well, we think) the vet thinks it was probably temporary.
