| ![]() A 3 month old, with a cough as you described, would worry me, too. I'm assuming you had your baby checked out by a vet who prescribed the azitromicin. Has the medicine helped? Is the puppy still coughing? If there's been no improvement, or if the baby is getting worse, the only suggestion I have would be to go back to the vet again. I wish you luck. Hope your baby gets well. Keep us posted. ![]()

| ![]() Yes, she was checked by a vet and the doctor doesn't think it's kennel cough otherwise my other yorkie would have caught it... Today was the 1st day I gave Hannah the Azitromicin... so far so good she didn't have any bad reaction (my worst fear!) ![]() ![]() ![]() I was worried about this medication 'cause I've never heard of it been used in pups... I don't know... ![]() ![]() Thank you for the kind words... ![]() ![]() Katiuscia & Maggie & Hannah.... ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() I don't know about giving it to a puppy... I was on Azitromicin 2 weeks ago for Strep Throat. It seems pretty strong for a dog. ![]()

This is the same as Z-pack for us.......it's a broad spectrum antibiotic (strong)....you need to give plenty of fluids and not give on an empty stomach. Hope your baby is better soon!

![]() The diarrhea could be a potential side effect of the meds.......sounds like your baby is on it's way back to health ![]()

Yeah, i think it's a side effect (check with your vet just incase). I know it's a side effect for adults.
