okay guys.. I talked to my vet and he is going to start gentamicin nebulization for her since this is considered a serious Kennel Cough Case and instead of the normal 3-5 days he will be doing it for 5-7 days... Has anyone ever heard of this or has this done to their baby? |

I took my two to see the vet this morning for what I suspected of kennel cough. And it was.. Luckily, she said it seemed like a very mild case. Magnus got Clavamox to be taken twice a day for 2 weeks. (Magnus is close to 16 lbs) Zoey got an injection. Convenia 80 mg/ml which is supposed to last 2 weeks. We'll be having a follow up in 10 days. They were both vomiting white foam and coughing like they needed to clear their throat ALL night. Neither had nasal discharge or anything weird. Other than those two symptoms, they are "normal". Eats, drinks, plays. The vet suggested humidifier or bringing them with me when I take a hot shower. She didn't want to give them cough suppressants b/c she wants them to cough out all the foam. But if it got worse, to call her and then she'll give the suppressants... Poor babies didn't get much sleep last night... I hope tonight would be better. Is there anything you can do to make them more comfortable? At the very least at night so they can at least get some good night sleep??? |
Hopefully the new medicine will clear it up. When I got Cali 8 years ago she had kennel cough and gave to to my older pom. It took over 3 months to clear them both up. The antibiotics were just a precaution to help prevent it from developing into pneumonia. |
Whenever she cant sleep I just hold her.. I dont know of anything else :( |
I seem to notice my two cough/vomit less when they\'re in a bit more humid environment. I live in Northern VA and it\'s sort of humid here right now. Since the AC is running in the house, it\'s not as humid as it\'s outside. I have the humidifier set up in their room and I\'m hoping that\'ll help them be more comfortable... Have you tried that? I feel so bad every time they cough then vomit... They think they did something bad so they do the whole guilty look. I hope they get better soon. |
I hope your baby gets better soon |
