Is it too soon to expect results from the meds? Jimi seems to be completely over it.. (although we will continue the meds until the prescribed time anyway), but Marshall is still sneezing/sniffling. Am I just overreacting and need to give the medicine more time to work?
I just hate to see him sicky..:(
| Aw, poor Marshall :(. I'm not completely surprised, but have you seen any improvement, or none at all? Respiratory infections in adults usually clear up (like you saw w/ Jimi :)), but in young puppies...they can take a while, and sometimes even weeks (depending on on the strain). He's not coughing though, right? The important thing to watch for in pups is that a "cold" never progresses to pneumonia, which pups are more vulnerable to.
His appetite and energy is good and everything?
It wouldn't hurt to call your vet/vet tech tomorrow and just run his symptoms by them, to see if they want to add anything to his regimen, bc they may want to. I kind of doubt they'll even require you to bring him in, since you were just there a few days ago...
Give the fella a big hug from me, and you hang in there too, I know it's scary when these little guys get sick :(. |
