puppy URI advice My 15 week AAI puppy Ellie has an upper resp infection- on antibiotics. Two questions- can another yorkie puppy catch this? and has anyone used the vicks vaporizor to help ease the congestion and help clear nasal passages? your advice is appreciated |
Unfortunately I am not familiar with AAI but I do know that upper repiratory infections are contagious. I got a new puppy from a shelter that had it (he was a carrier w/ no symptoms initially), and he made my other dog sick. Then.. the puppy started exhibiting symptoms too! So I would recommend keeping your baby separated from other dogs. I never used a vick's vaporizer, but I have heard of people using that as well as hot steam from a shower to ease congestion. Hope this helps. :) |

i took her to be with her 1/2 brother two months older, at doggie daycare yesterday...and Unfortunately it didn't cross my mind. I sure hope Cooper is ok. I also have Two peeks at home with Ellie...so this info is important to be clear on. I think i will try the vaporizer today. Will post if it works. thanks again. |
If is is kennel cough it is pretty contagious. I had a puppy with it and she gave it to my older dog. It took awhile but they both got over it. I use to take them in the bathroom and run the shower on hot and get it all steamy and that seemed to help. Hope Ellie feels better soon. |
