OMG! I'm amazed to see how many of you are suffering with the same symptoms as we are! This all makes such great sense to me now!!! I took my dog in to have her shots updated two weeks ago tomorrow. I'm so upset right now because I feel that the Vet should have been professional enough to ask me if my dog even needed that dumb nose drop thing! My dog has no need for it!!! She's not very social and doesn't enjoy dog parks, or doggie day cares or anything like that. AHHH!!!
I had to take my dog to see a different Vet this past week because of the awful sneezing/choking symptoms she was (is) having. AND because the 1st doctor told me my dog had a cyst and it needed to be removed right away. I was super concerned not only that but devastated to think that my poor babe was in huge danger. Only to find out at the second opinion, that I don't have anything to worry about! Anyway, back to the subject....The second Vet told me to give my dog Baby Benadryl and to make sure she takes it easy for a while. He diagnosed her with having "Backward Sneezing". But, I'm still concern because I feel that the symptoms have worsened. She not only chokes/can't breath/snorts now, but also she has started sneezing, w/ watery eyes and possibly a fever too. She has done the backward sneeze before, but she's never done it this frequently.
I'm very worried that she might have something worse going on now. Does anyone know what to do now???
I've tried the finger on the nose and that does work for the choking part... but now I?m more concerned about the added symptoms. WHAT SHOULD I DO GUYS????
Please advice!
Oh.... and if any of you live in the LA area...
DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS TO
WARREN ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN SILVER LAKE!!! THEY SUCK! This all started because of their carelessness and lack of attention to the patient! All we needed was a rabbies shot. Not a $75 vet bill at the end of the visit for shots/drops we didn't even need.
WHO CARES ABOUT THE $$$ it's the fact that I paid $ only to make my dog SICK that really bothers me! ahhh!!!!
