Are there any nurses reading here that can reassure me about this device my dog has? He had a pneumothorax, and they sent him home with a chest tube. The vet and tech can always get air into the syringe, but hubby and I can't get it to work. We screw on the syringe, change the position of the lever to open it, and pull back on the plunger, but all we can ever get out is some bloody fluid. I know tissues can shift around and block the tube, but always to us and never to them? CJ is very cooperative, lying on his side and not moving. He's such a good boy. |
