Pneumonia Sunday morning our biggest female escaped and jumped into the xpen where we have 5 babies. I think she was trying to steal one. She ripped a flap of skin off one boy and tore a little chunk of skin off. The puppy was not punctured. We were iced in and couldn't get out, the vet said to clean it with peroxide and bandage it. We did. Yesterday morning we took him in to the vet and they cut the dying skin away and sewed the healthy skin together. They put him to sleep with gas to do this. All the rest of yesterday he was ok but this morning he makes noises breathing in and out. Anyone who has had a child with pneumonia knows the sound of it. I have antibiotics from another dog that I was giving to this puppy but the vet didn't say to continue it so I didn't. Now I regret that. This baby is 3 weeks and 12 ozs.
Do any of you know any home rememdies I can use on this baby? Sylvia |
