I am new to this site but have had 2 weeks of treating my 16 week old Yorkie for Pneumonia. I bought her from a nice lady in Florida. She told me to take her to a vet with 48 hours b/c my puppy had had a little cold but had finished her antibiotics and had just had an x-ray and her lungs were clear. Well I took the puppy home and did just as I was told. My vet said she had an upper- respiratory infection and put on Clavamox. Puppy seemed a little better for 3-4 days. Then started getting worse. Went back to vet. Vet did x-rays and said she had pneumonia. She prescribed Bactrim. Went for 2nd opinion. New vet put her on clindadrops. She was great for 5-6 days. Now last night and today, she can't breathe, won't eat, won't drink, etc. I'm headed back to vet in next 20 minutes. Does anybody have any suggestions???? Is there any medication that can help?? How many should we try? She is to little for a trachea wash. Please help me if you can. I really want her to live.
