If his liver appears small for his size, no vaccines until Liver Shunt can be ruled out (at 16 weeks a Bile Acid Test can be done). And no vaccines until congestion is cleared up.
It is extremely important to give the meds as prescribed by your vet and to finish all the meds. Failure to do so can cause bacteria to become immune to the medicine, then the meds will not help him, and he will continue to be sick. So please finish the medicines and give them to your pup as directed. |
Thanks for the info. The med he is on is only as needed and that is why I only give if his coughing is bad and he throws up. He was throwing up stuff from stomach/GI... and the med was to help keep it down. He gets the runny nose when he has his episodes of coughing or hacking. It is clear but not alot at all, but I wanted to list all simptoms. I will request an x ray next visit because. Thanks again for all the info and help and advice
