Hi there,

Went to the vet again on Friday and we seem to have some progress. We took new film and the bronchitis seems to have lessened somewhat. We are trying a different antibiotic - Zenquin. Still keeping up with the Delsym, though 2 times a day now instead of one. I also added some homeopathics for cough. We also checked for collapsing trachea and any heart issues and those are ok (tg!)

Over the weekend I was worried because he actually seemed to be coughing more, not less and he had gross yellow eye goo - that suggested to me that the antibiotics were not working as well. This morning, however, he seemed to be slightly better. We'll see.

We are trying this aggressive approach for the next 8 days, and then we'll see where we are. If this continues - we'll see an internist. Poor little guy!!

Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
