Thank you so much for your reply.
A few weeks ago Julia Mary would yelp in pain for no apparent reason...just occasionally, like she was being pinched. We checked her all over and it seemed to happen most often when she would shake her head, or when she was getting up from lying down. We took her to the Vet's and she had a good going over and nothing could be found...she was put on an antibiotic for 5 days and the problem seemed to go away. Last week the yelp happened again several times, and then one morning the lower eyelid was droopy, and she started with this awful chokeing, wracking sounds like she is going to vomit everything up strangling sound.
The Vet did do xrays and the lungs are clear and her heart looks good, but he said the flaps in her throat that keep things from entering her lungs are parylzed.
She is very lethargic, we have taken her off dry food and are feeding her canned food from a fork so she will eat slowly, and she is drinking more water than usual.
Julia is currently taking 500mg.of Ciprofloxacin...I haven't noticed any improvement at all.
It's going to be a long 5 days until we see the neurologist.
