My son almost had to have his dog put down due to an antibiotic he was put on. The dog had a temperature and seemed to have some sort of repiratory symptoms. The vet put him on an antibiotic and within a day or two he had symptoms much like your dog's and then started having seizures. They rushed him to the vet several times. The vet never mentioned that the antibiotic could cause such side effects. After a week of suffering they were ready to put the poor guy down to stop his suffering. My son got on line and looked up the medication he was on and saw that possible side effects were very similar to his dog's and seizures were also a possible side effect. They took the dog off the medication and within hours the seizures stopped and he started getting better. Sometimes we don't realize what a medication can be doing to our pets and they cannot tell us. Look into the medication and consider stopping it or having your dog switched to something else. I don't know if that is what it is but I would hate to have you go through what my son and his dog did because of a medication reaction. |
