I just found this book online. You might want to save it. Small animal medical therapeutics - Google Books |
Great book, thank you. I actually came across that thread when I searched the word benadryl a week ago. I just remembered that the reason I gave him benadryl in the first place was because he was sniffling/sneezing which means that the benadryl didn't cause it, but didn't fix it either...I definitely think it may have been a result of the tapeworms, it seems to make the most sense to me...poor baby suffering from both things at once! I've spent so much money in the past two weeks on vet visits, but I am glad I did because I sleep in the same room as him (he sleeps in his crate) and everytime he sneezed/sniffled it woke me right up and worried me. This experience helped me find a good vet, which is ultimately what I wanted to do. Having a puppy is scary, and even though nothing "major" happened, it made me realize how much I care about him even if my little furbutt doesn't follow directions all the time! Teddy is 5.5lbs (I deliberately chose a larger dog) and I am extremely happy with the choice because I think a smaller dog requires a lot more care/attention and quite frankly I think I would be even MORE on edge than I am right now with mine! I am horrified when I read about all these people that purposely REQUEST tiny dogs (Teddy is tiny, but not as tiny in comparison to other Yorkies)...they're so fragile! HUGE responsibility, and frankly I doubt that half the people that want these tiny dogs can handle it! I might be young, but I consider myself a fairly responsible person...and I wouldn't trust myself with a 3lb adult dog...but that is just me.
