It's just basic not to inject a virus into an already sick dog. Having a cough means she was a sick dog.
I'm sorry you're going through all this. I only posted because of concern for your pup as I had gone through a similar situation. I hope she makes a full recovery. Do watch out for your other girl as she could get sick, too. I kept my pup away from my other dogs the entire time she was ill.
Wishing you and Mia all the best. |
Thanks. Yes, I am upset that the shots were given. I do feel that they should not have been and have discussed this and was told that they did not cause her to get sicker. My usual vet is the ONLY vet I take my dogs to and if he is not there I have one other that I love and trust. I've been using this practive for 15 years and they are not cheap but the best in our area. This doctor she went to is fairly new to the practice and I won't bring her to him again. It was one of those things that he was there and wanted her seen right away. They do not feel it contributed in any way to her becoming sicker, that's what I was told.
I had kept her away from them as much as possible, but the vet said that what Mia has is airborne. I treat it as if a kid is sick and clean, clean, clean. Yesterday and today is the first she'd played with them and I'm still very careful to not let them share the same toys, food or drinks, wee wee pad etc. E.
