just bought a new baby and need help i bought brutus from a kennel/ vet and i have had him for two weeks now and he has a runny nose, sneezing alot and sometimes a lot of snot will come out its not a weird color or anything and at night or sometimes when he is laying down he has a dry hacking cough i have taken him to the vet several times and they gave me clavimox which did not help, benedryl which did not help and temeral which did not help. he is still really playful and eats and drinks plenty what should i do? |
I would try taking him to a different vet to get a second opinion. |
Congrats on your new baby! Sorry he's not feeling well. If the doc thinks it might be allergy-based, have you discussed the food he's on? Sniffles and a runny nose are no fun at all. :( |
he could have kennel cough ...poor baby - have they tested for that ? What kind of vet would sell someone a sick puppy ? :( he needs to be treated by another vet if he isn't getting better.... |
they have not tested for anything really i am ust so worried about him and the vet did not seem worried but he sneezes so much its like something is tickling his nose |
do you think he will be ok until tuesday? |
You might take his temperature. If he has no temperature, and he continues eating, drinking and playing, then I would think that he will be OK until Tuesday. I am only telling you what I myself would do. If his symptoms get worse, or he quits eating or drinking, then...I would take him to the vet straight away. I agree that "a different vet" is a good idea! |
When 2 of mine had kennel cough it took 3 months to clear it up and 3 rounds of antibiotics to prevent a bacterial infection. I would watch him and if he seems the least bit distressed take him in. You could try running a hot shower and sitting with him in the bathroom as the steam does help. I use to do that every couple of nights when mine had it. Hope he feels better soon. |
in addition to the rest of the advice on this thread, I would give the baby crushed vitamin C tablets and consider adding a good multivitamin to boost immunity. |
I agree with Patti! When you shower, take him in the bathroom and the steam will help. When I got Meeko, he developed a respiratory congestion and the vet suggested to do this. I still bring him in with me now. I can easily keep an eye on him and know he's not getting into anything bad and the steam still helps keep him clear. I'd also go to a different vet. I'm shocked your vet sold him to you when he's sick! Good luck!!! |
Just wanted to say welcome to YT. How is your new baby doing? I noticed you are from Orem. I lived there for 16 years before I moved to california. In fact all 3 of my kids were born there. And BOY has it GROWN! I couldn't believe it whenb I was there a year ago. |
