Mia, the past two days or so has been doing great. Eating and playing. Still has the cough and some sneezing, but otherwise seems like any other normal puppy now. No more listlessness or sleeping so much. However, today she woke up with gook coming out of her nose. Like a kid with a snotty nose and once again coughing last night. She has that gaggy thing going on like we do when we have the nasal drip. I called the vet this morning, because she's now done with the antibiiotics and ear meds. Ears seem good now. The antibiots if you total it all up including when she was with Susan has been about 20 days on them. Five days on Zithromax with Susan (As per her vet) and then ten days with Clavamox and otomax, and then the vet added an additional five days to both Clavamox and Otomax.

I called him this morning and he wanted to run a swab test on her (About $200 or more for the test) to see what kind of organism he is dealing with. I said to him that Mia otherwised seemed fine other then the cough which he had told me may linger for weeks and now the snotty nose she woke up with. I asked if it were possible that maybe all the crap is just coming out of her now which would be a good thing. I told him that I didn't want to rack up another $200 bill on me or IF and I say IF the I ever get my money from the breeder as promised. He is going to recheck her on Thursday, but I'd like to ask the input of some of you older more experienced breeders. I know you have remedies that help with the congestion and snotty noses. I seems like maybe some sort of decongestant could be used? IDK. I'm just worried about her and want to see her get better. Is there anything that would be suggested that won't hurt her of course but may help her with this? I'm not cheap but I can't see racking another $200 in bills when she seems to be improving other the this snotty nose she now has.

Thanks
Elaine
