Lucky's vet appointment wasn't till 7:30 last night and till we got out of there and home it was almost 9 o'clock.

We took another pee sample in. OMGosh, his urine was hardly any better at all. The vet checked to see if he was dehydrated and listened to his heart & lungs again. He was a little dehydrated and still sounded a little congested. (Which I think was making him sound weird when he breathed.) They gave him intravenous fluids last night and a shot for upper respiratory infection. They changed his antibiotics to Clavamox. The vet said most dogs usually respond to the other antibiotic Lucky was given but it didn't do anything for Lucky.

The vet said that Lucky should improve pretty fast on this medicine, which is stronger than the last antibiotic.

He also suggested getting Pedialite (spelling?) or GatorAid for Lucky. Today after work, I'm going to stop and pick up some Pedialite for him. Has anyone ever given that to their furbabies?

I want to "Thank" all who posted for their care & concern for Lucky's health. I appreciate that!!!
