| Exactly. It's weird though, because she never coughs. Never did. Initially she had some wheezing, which led to an exray and the diagnosis. She stabilized very quickly once we got her on meds and the disease has not progressed. She gets a little junky sounding during allergy season, but that's it. She sure is a little fighter and her vets have been really shocked at how well she's done with both the bronchitis and the abscess.
She is still doing really well with the eye thing. Swelling is mostly gone and she just has a bit of bruising left. The only problem we're having now is that the pain meds have made her constipated. I finally stopped the pain meds as of yesterday, and have been giving her pumpkin. She went a little this morning but I think she is still a little backed up. Any other tried and true natural remedies for constipation? I am not completely sure whether it is the pain meds or the antibiotics causing the constipation, and she'll be on the antibiotics for at least three more weeks.
