Hello again. And I'm in trouble again. You all helped me about docking the tail of an 18 week old Yorkie; her breeder wanted us to bring her back a few days after we brought her home to dock her tail. She is now 5 1/2 months with tail intact!

Atia now seems to have kennel cough; She is 2 pounds 11 ounces. Our vet is treating her with an injection of 0.2 Baytril and 0.2 Azium. She's getting a little better but by no means is she well.

Her breeder wants us to return her for 5-7 days during which she will treat her with a drug called "Naxol" and claims that Atia probably has a type of kennel cough our vet would be unfamiliar with. "It is a European strain", she says. Our vet has not heard of "Naxol". The closest he could come was "Naxcel" which is usually used for UT infections.

Atia may have a Russian sire; hence the European connection. I have pedigree papers in Russian but none of this is making much sense. When I googled "Naxol", sites came up using the cyrillic alphabet.

Has anybody out there treated kennel cough with Naxol? If it is an eastern European drug, where do you think a breeder in Illinois may be obtaining it?

Help! Our vet was neither pro or con--left the decision to us.
