He told me to give her some maple syrup,honey or molasses until she starts eating again. I feel so bad her breathing still sounds a little raspy, but he said to just keep an eye on her and call him tomorrow with an update, unless of course she appears to be getting worse then come right back. Thanks again for everyones help.
Glad you brought her in. Keep in mind her "cough" can last for months- the antibiotics are just going to keep it from turning into an infection. Layla had her cough for over a month- but like I said a warm air humidifier REALLY helped.
