Took little Riley to the emergency vet tonight! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kchig · 03-10-2007, 09:31 PM

He started coughing and hacking big time. So, of course being the paranoid mommy that I am I took him to the vet right away. It ended up just being a severe case of kennel cough. Scary though! And that little cough just breaks my heart... he also got treated for his ear infection too, so that was good. 109.00 though... CRAZY! but so worth it to know he's gonna be just fine...

Glad he's OK!

Awww...glad the little guy is "ok" despite his hacking! I'm the paranoid mommy too...I understand!

So glad to hear it's treatable. I just hate hearing about sick babies. Give him a lick & a hug from Chloe & Darla

kennel cough seems to be rampid around here! layla had it (well still does) 3 weeks ago.. got meds for it... and she is still up hacking.. just letting you know it can last a while and be hard to get rid of.. so hang in there! but you did the right thing bringing him in.. listening to them cough just breaks your heart eh?

You're a good mom -- not only do you have peace of mind but now he is already getting starting to find some relief from what could have taken a more serious turn! Get well little Riley!
