I am taking him to the vet for a recheck on Monday. |
Just wanted to share this: My Peek a Boo has coughed for years... CT was not found unless it is where the trachea first goes into the lungs (does not show on xray if it's there). Anyway, when he got pneumonia two years ago, I noticed a great improvement in his breathing after the course of Antibiotics he was given for the pneumonia. He always has moist breath sounds, no fluid in his lungs (after the pneumonia cleared), but the Doxycycline really helped him and lessened his coughing.
I asked the vet if this is something we could do every so often when his coughing gets bad, and he said that would be fine to do for him. I also have another drug for him to use as needed... the cough suppressant, but he hasn't needed that since taking the AB's.
Hoping your vet can help you both... prayers and Best Wishes....
