worried about daisy

just out walking with the dogs when it became very obivous that daisy was running out of steam, very heavy panting and her tongue was quite purple. we rested her for a few mins and tried to contuine home but after a few steps she just gave up and sat down. we ended up carrying her home and it took ages for her to recover. she would be used to a 3km walk every other day and last time she did it she was pooped too but nothing like today. any ideas or advice as i think its a trip to the vet tomorrow.
 
How distressing... Sorry to hear...
I would say that if her tongue was purple there mustve been an oxygen problem. Has her heart been tested?

I agree. Does she have a heart problem. I would get to the vet as soon as possible.
 
Definitely an alarming and urgent sign of lack of oxygen. :yikes

I would as others say get her immediately to a vet or at the very least call the emergency vet if your practice has one for advice or UCD vet centre. This is likely a heart problem or she has a serious brachycephalic obstruction problem and absolutely should not be walked long distances or at all until this is thoroughly checked out.

Please let us know what you hear. I would keep her very calm and do not let her run around or get overexcited until you can get her to a vet.
 
My reaction was the same as the others, the heart, and hoping you have her in today as the issue sounds like it needs to be addressed ASAP. Let us know how it goes.
 
back from the vet. likely to be excess of soft tissue around the larynx or potential larynx collapse and now waiting to see if ucd will take her in as an emergency to to the investigation and hopfully some op to help her, othewise it will be the 28th of this month. she is on steoids to help and as karlin said last night absolute quiet and no excitement or exercise. she is in good form but gasping doing ordinary things like jumping up or down off the sofa. awful news but i cannot allow myself anything only positive thoughts until she goes to ucd. fingers crossed

sorry to hear about daisy hope she will be ok give her a kiss and a cuddle from me and louie
 
well thankfully daisy is going to be assessed on wed morning and maybe a procedure on thursday. fingers crossed.
 
Good to hear you have such a quick appointment.
Best of luck with her and I hope they can get her on the road to recovery quickly.
What a dreadful shock for you.

daisy had her visit to ucd today and will have a general anaesthetic tomorrow at nine am as she has either a soft palate which can be treated and is the best case scenario or else she has a collasping larynx which is the worst case. either way the coming round and the first 24 hours after the anaesthetic are risky. positive thoughts and prayers please. i just want my dog back.
 
I can imagine how worried you are right now.
Sending best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
It's so good that this is being dealt with so swiftly.

Hoping all goes well for Daisy. Sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers to you for Daisy's speedy recovery and hoping she is back in your lap real soon.
