I have a 11 week old Yorkie Puppy Rosie. We bought her 3 weeks ago and yes I did a lot of research. 2 days after we got her she started to cough. The vet said it was kennel cough and put her on antibiotics as well as cough medicine. A couple of days later she seemed worse took her back to the vet and he gave her more medicine. A few days later she was worse again and the vet was not in (vet was referred by breeder) I took her to the vet I used on my last baby and found she was totally infested with strongyloides (threadworms). Yuk!!! She has been on panacure for 5 days as well as amoxicillian, cough meds, and we use revolution. She seemed to be improving but today she is much worse. I don't know what else to do she has been sick since we got her - I have taken to the vet a total of 7 times. Any suggestions? Of course the breeder is of no help!
