Either way - how contagious are these issues and how easy are they to get rid of? I just worry about medications for Posey since she is so young. |
What meds did the vet prescribe? If you are uncomfortable giving them, I strongly suggest that you call the vet to speak with him/her. Both of these conditions need to be treated.
