I found the email that had her results from the tests. I copy and pasted the key parts of it below:
“The radiologist said there was one focal portion of her lung that looked like it has pneumonia or possibly a pocket of pus (aka abscess), but the rest of his x-rays looked normal.”
“Her bloodwork looks great! Her liver and kidneys are functioning well, and her calcium and phosphorus balance was perfect”
“The fluid sample from her lungs showed a moderate amount of inflammatory cells with some structures that the pathologist couldn't quite identify. They said it didn't look like typical bacteria or fungal organisms, but they could potentially be a parasite or one of the less common infectious organisms. The bacterial and fungal culture were both negative.”
“So where does this leave us? The radiologist and pathologist agree that she has diseased lungs, but it is not a typical bacterial or fungal infection. I would recommend sending a poop sample to the lab to check for parasites, just in case this is an unusual lungworm infection. You can stop the Baytril antibiotic at this point. If she continues to have problems with his breathing, there are two options from here: 1.) I can refer her to a specialist in Akron and they can perform a CT scan of her chest to further identify the source of his disease, or 2.) we can use a special scope to look inside of her body and possibly take a biopsy of the lung tissue. If she does have an abscess in his lungs, that could potentially require surgery to remove.”
