Welcome and congratulations. Sorry to hear your baby is sick. URI can take awhile to go away. The thing to watch for is that it doesn't turn into pneumonia. When I got one of mine and she had a URI I took her in every week for several weeks to have the vet check her out and make sure she wasn't going into pneumonia. With mine it took 3 months to completely clear up but she had other health issues that made it harder for her to shake it off. Each case is different so uou can call the vet to get their advice on how long they think it may last. Also, when they are so young and little they are susceptible to becoming hypoglycemic so make sure you watch for signs of that. I hope your puppy feels better soon.
