My dog has coughing, bloody nose, breathing issues, but no answers?

Question

So my dog Gato has been through alot lately and I've spent tons of money and still come up with no answers and normal results or too concerning. I have dealt with 4 different vets including emergency care. It started with dry coughing and soon pneumonia. Then came bloody noses, right side only, and trouble breathing. Had xrays and scoped the nose and found no obstruction. When they sedated him and put the trach tube in it filled up with yellow mucusy fluid. On antx baytril and But I. Help!

This definitely sounds concerning, but without knowing all of the results of the tests that have already been performed it's difficult to make recommendations about what to do next. Based on your description I'd be concerned about an infectious disease or cancer, but I'm assuming many diseases have already been ruled out if Gato has seen four veterinarians. If Gato has not been to see an internal medicine specialist I would recommend asking your regular veterinarian about a referral. You could also request a consultation with one of our experts and we might be able to give better information after seeing diagnostic test results.
