Now Kimchi is sick! So the last few weeks I have had a very sick yorkie- MISO! He is doing considerably better. on his 9th day of antibiotics with 4 more days to go. The coughing has nearly stopped with maybe one cough in the middle of the night. He is getting 1ml of cough suppressant every night, antibiotics twice a day, and still ear ointment antibiotics twice a day and an ear wash. All the infection finally came to the surface of his ears and I was able to clean it all out! The vet says the look much better, and he still has 8 days left of those antibiotics. He is getting nebulizer treatments every other day. Its a hassle, about a 2 hour round trip on the subway and a walk but our pup is so worth it!!!
A 6 days ago we started Kimchi on antibiotics .2ml two times a day. well he developed a cough, and I called the vet, she said she had made a mistake and it should be .5 ml of antibiotics two times a day. ARGH!!! so frustrating, and one of the many reasons we prefer the off post vet. so day before yesterday we started him on the .5ml two times a day. He is on 2ml of cough suppressant a day. His cough is better, only a few coughs a night.
Well today Kimchi started vomiting everywhere, I have no idea what e got into! All over his bed, all over the floor probably 12 times. Near the end it was very mucousy. He is still drinking water, and a bit ago I got him to eat some applesauce with a few kibbles of dog food. I would take him to the vet, but we have a tropical typhoon passing through, and I dont even know if I can make Miso's neb appointment tomorrow, but Im going to try. The rain and lightening is out of control.
Thank you everyone for the well wishes, and the good thoughts. I love my babies, and slowly but surely they have both been making a recovery!
