my puppy had a cough and it was called kennelcough.. i was worried so we took him to the vet.. Whatever they do do not let them do a procedure called a trans trachael wash on your puppy. What it is is when they put a tube down his throat and flush saline water in and suck back out to collect a culture of the bacteria in is lungs. What they did was flush the kennelcough bacteria deep into his lungs which caused him to have pnuemonia. Immediately after his procedure he could not breathe. He was in the critical care for a week and died that saturday. It was the most devasting thing that has ever happened to me. I felt like he was my child. Iam very sketchy about procedures and treatments that vets want to perform on these small breed dogs and i always do my research now before letting them do anything to my dog that could be critical to his health. Im sure your baby will be fine.. if it is kennelcough just make sure to treat him with some amoxydrops. It may sound really bad and it can last up to 2months but if treated properly he will recover.if you have any ?'s dont hesitate to ask. i would love to help. |
