If you don't trust the recommendations of your current vet, I'd seek out another in your area asap and get those babies in!!

Sending up lots of healing prayers!!

Thank you so much! I will let y'all know how things go this afternoon at the Vet.

Untreated it is very serious. It almost killed Dennis, but once I was treating them both it took about 2 to 3 months before it was over. They were both on Clavamox, and another that was orange flavored, that I can’t recall the name of at the moment. I would grind up a half a pill and put it in cottage cheese and they loved that, still love the cottage cheese. You have to be careful that it does not go to pneumonia, though I am sure in a weakened condition can cause other maladies.


Don't worry to much, it is very treatable but also very contagious. So keep them away from other animals. I was also told that it was air born.

I hope your babies recover quicker than mine. It was so very scary! Hard enough having 1 sick kid, but 2 is a horror. I lost 20 pounds because I was so nervous as well as many times I just did not want to leave them to go shopping.

Everything is going pretty good....the vet said the antibiotic does tend to upset some dog's stomachs so, he put them on a different antibiotic. Not sure why he didn't do that to begin with ? Cocoa and Daisy are doing good, running around playing right now. Thanks for all of your help!
