| Poisoning from Raid If my yorkie at a bug that was killed at least a month ago with Raid, could he get sick? He keeps sneezing and he's going in tomorrow for kennel cough, but now he's trembling and i'm wondering if he ate something. I know we've sprayed for spiders in the past, but I think almost everything was cleaned up but he was in the area. |

| I would doubt very seriously that he has been "poisoned" by the Raid if it has been a month ago AND you cleaned up. Are you taking him to the vet because he HAS kennel cough to to vaccinate AGAINST kennel cough. If he HAS kennel cough then the sneezing and trembling is probably related to that. It is also possible that some dust is tickling his nose. |

| I'm taking him b/c I think he has it. Now i'm just freaking out b/c there may have been one or two small insects left but I know those were killed a WHILE ago. I had him in the basement for a minute(its furnished but bugs come through the sliding glass doors) and he went near there sniffing and investigating. He's just FREAKING ME OUT!! I can't take him to the vet until tomorrow and he's congested and trembling in his sleep. I gave him nutrical though. If the trembling/hacking/sneezing is from kennel cough then most likely he's not going to die or something overnight and its just much worse than it seems. But he's making me SO NERVOUS and there's nothing I can do right now. |

| Do you have an emergency vet you can take him to? If not call poison control. Get help ASAP. Good luck!

| Thanks everyone for your help. I think I'm being paranoid and its just a BAD case of Kennel cough. I cant wait till morning. He's sleeping peacefully now. I keep flicking his ears to make sure he's just asleep and not in a coma or something. Now that he's thrown up he's better, not as in healed but I dont feel so afraid now. |

| I hope your little guy gets better soon. Remember that it can take a while, and a couple rounds of meds for kennel cough to clear. Sissy had it at 13 weeks and it took a month of meds before she was better.

| I do hope your little boy will start feeling better soon. I always go with my gut feeling...If I can't get in when I think they should be seen, I call around till I find someone who can see them.

| I would take your puppy to the emergency right away dont hesitate! I am going through a horrible kidney failure with my baby he is only 11 weeks and it all started with a cold, I regret that I did not do full bloodwork sooner and that no vet could find what is wrong with my baby until the emergency hospital did find an infection and he has only slight chances of survival but he is fighting and so am i. Therefore this is my advice dont hesitate take him to the emergency as soon as you can ! Your baby may only have a cough but you gotta make sure that thats what it is. Good Luck |

| *****UPDATE****** Peeka Boo went to the doctor today. Before we even went, he began to perk up. It seems to be a night thing. He ate a little prescription dog food. Well actually he ate it all, there was only a little there b/c they were testing to see if he'd throw up, he didn't. He enjoyed the sunshine on the ride there/back since he LOVES the car. He's been put on amoxicillin(sp?) for the Kennel Cough and meds for vomiting. I hope he'll eat again at 4ish, they gave me a can of the food he ate at the vet. Thanks for the support everyone. |
