We have postponed Yogi's neutering till he is better. He is 7 months old now and hopefully this is ok. Also he only eats about 1/4 cup dry food per day (chicken soup for the soul puppies) with boiled chicken mixed in. He weighs between 4 and 5 pounds, does this seem like enough?? |
Just from my own experience, when I cough the air comes from my lungs, through my throat and out of my mouth, and I would think any bacteria would travel that way too. But, WDIK???
Pulmacort is Albuterol, used for asthmatics. Yes, postponing any surgery and/or vaccines is best, and then done when he's all better for a month.
It should be listed somewhere on the food container as to how much to be feeding him. Usually goes by weight/age.
