Every time that I took Sahara in I asked them why they were not putting Dennis on as well because he was also showing the same symptoms, I never did get an answer. It was finally some time in October that they finally did have them both on them and it was sometime in January that the cough and sneezing abated.
I was scared to death for six months as they did occasionally vomit, Dennis passed out twice after vomiting. I consulted another Vet and it was his opinion that they both should have been on medication as they were passing it back and forth.
So the bottom line is, make sure they are both on antibiotics. Also, just be very careful that it does not culminate in pneumonia. It is very scary and twice it almost killed Dennis because of the Vets failure to treat him. I am still upset with my Vet, and have been looking for another one I can trust.
Good Luck! |
Oh goodness...that is what I thought is that they just passed it back and forth since Daisy had bronchitis not long ago. I'm taking them both back in today to the vet to make sure everything is ok and possibly talk about a different antibiotic and/or shot. They gave Daisy a steroid shot last time and didn't do it this time around for some reason. Thanks for your help!
