Daisy went for a scope and CT scan at Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital; it didn’t look good.

There is a huge mass in her esophagus.

The vet found a bone stuck inside, and that was removed. It was probably eaten during her stray days living in the cemetery.

Most of her esophagus is blocked, which some parts as much as 80% blockage, which explains why she vomits and regurgitates. Daisy has been doing well on puree food and tiny meatballs and we will continue with this diet. Her weight has been stagnant at 14.8kg but at least she hasn’t lost weight.

A sample of the mass has been sent for biopsy and we will update when the results are out in a week or so.
Doing a scope and CT scan is not cheap but we needed to know if what Daisy has is something curable and if we were on the right track with our treatment plan.
