My previous dog, Manya, had an acute aspiration pneumonia and died in three days from that. You have to understand that it is VERY serious. You puppy has to be put on antibiotics right away. You have to have a vet that supervises his progress. What is his white blood cell count? Has the x-ray showed pneumonia in one or two lungs? He might need to be put on oxygen in case his oxygenation level is low. Your doctor has to check this out along with his blood and chest x-rays. He can't be left home alone because nobody knows what might happen.
