He is getting amoxicillian through his mamas milk.
My husbands tells me to relax, but I am worried- he is eating very well, gained 3 oz since birth- you can just hear is nose is stuffy, and runny while he eats.
please tell me what is best to do... his littermates seem fine, I checked them out.. they are not exposed to drafts or anything.
Thanks in advanced, I will return all the help I have been given when things slow down here... promise |
I have the EXACT situation going on and have asked for advice here at YT. It started with one male, then another, then a third, now all four have it. Is it like a little cold, more sneezing than coughing? They rarely cough, but when they do they gag a little. Took them all to the vet when only one had it. She gave me a liquid antibiotic and said to keep an eye on the rest of them. Well, they all eat at the same buffet and they all got it. I keep Tiah's belly cleaned off all the time, and do whatever it takes to keep the pups healthy. I couldn't see how they could get a cold when I was SO CAREFUL. the vet just said, "It happens". The anitibiotic runs out today and I will be taking them back. They all still have it. No caughing anymore, but the all have the sniffles (which is clear, not infected looking). Since I seem to be ahead of you on this one, I'll let you know what the vet does and says.
