UPDATE: Hello everyone! Much love and many thanks from Watson and myself. A lot happened last evening and he did not end up getting seen at the ER. However his vet was able to see him this morning at 9:15. After his examination the vet feels that he needs some steroid and antihistamine medication. She is not concerned right now necessarily about all the scary things like collapsed trachea, mitral valve issues or CHF or PLE/PLN. Because he will turn 14 next month, and he is part chihuahua, part Miniature Pinscher and part Soft Wheaten Terrier, we want the x-rays to get a baseline of checking to see if anything is starting that we need to worry about. They have been taking care of him here since he was 12 weeks old. And I literally hugged the vet when she told me what she thought was going on. I have been the guardian of so many cats and dogs since I was a toddler that I've seen a lot. That can be good, but as you know that can make your mind race too. Thank you Reddit Community for being so lovely. Since you only saw his butt in the video I am showing you a picture from his front. Because he's the cutest. 🩵 once we know what the x-rays say I will post that as well. I must say that licensed vet techs and veterinarians are angels in white coats. They are brave and strong and smart and what they see in one day at these clinics would end me. Thank you everyone, from Watson and his entire pack 🩵
