just this monday november 27. i picked her up from he vet becuase she stayed there for 4 days.she was dehydrating and had a URI. i brought her back home and was sooo much better she ate very well ran around everywhere and even gained back the weight she lost. and the vet also gave me medicine for her called bactrim/flagyl. i noticed that only at night i seem to see discharge from her nose and coughs like she has phlegm yet doesnt spit anything out. shes still eating no diarhea no vomiting still running around. yet it worries me that she has discharge and is coughing. can anyone help me with this!?

She may have picked up a cold at the vet. There are all kinds of germs floating around in there, and your pup is not old enough to have built up her immune system. I would take her back in and have them check for Bordetella (kennel cough). But it's probably just a regular cold.

Sounds like someone sold you a really unhealthy puppy. The pup might have kennel cough from the sounds of it. Most of the time kennel cough just has to run its course, sort of like a human cold. If the pup gets worse though, definately get back to the vet. As it has already been sick, i'm sure her immune system isn't up to par.

take your dog back to the vet. in the first year any health problems can be fatal, the medecine is probably causing the problem or it could be an allergy. there are also two kinds of parvo, one that effects the nervous system and one that affects the respirstory. dogs transmit this by carrying it on there feet. if your dog plays with other peoples dogs , make sure they have had their vaccinations and if they havent. i wouldnt let them have contact. untill your pup is checked out.

I would have it check for kennel cough. You vet should have gave the dog a kennel cough shot

first read about the medication your giving her on the Internet. my dogs private part got infected, i don't know how, and i started reading about the two medications over the Internet. well, one was OK but the other one, dogs died from taking it. there are side effects, so just read about them
