I adopted a puppy from the pound last week. He started coughing with a runny nose. He was diagnosts with kennel cough, and put on anti biotics. That was 5 days ago. He has not eatten or drank in 2 days, has no fever, continually vomiting, no diareah. He has had 2 rounds of fluids from the vet. The vet told me this morning that he has pneumonia, and puppies usually don't make it through this. I am devistated. Can someone give me help?

He is on Clavamox 2ce a day and Baytril 2ce a day. He has had 2 antibiotice shot one today and one yesterday and has had 2 fluid sacs inserted. I was given a special a/d diet to feed him with a suringe. I know I'm doing what I can. I just fear for what his chances are.

Peggy, I am so sorry to hear about your puppy. Sometimes pneumonia can be fatal to young animals. You can try a little prayer along with the great medical help you are getting for him, and maybe something will happen, and he will be fine. If something happens, and he doesn't make it, you are wonderful for going and getting him and taking such good care of him. He was so fortunate you came and got him and gave him a good home and love.

i'm really sorry about your puppy. he's pretty young. i hope he makes it. call the pound and let them know what's happened. kennel cough is very contaigous. i know it isn't any consolation but, should anything happen to your pup, you may be able to get your money back. you got him in good faith. at least it would help pay the vet bill. i'll say a prayer for you and him.

enable me get this right this moment. you acquire a dogs so which you will discover it for some hours an afternoon and save it chained up at nighttime? Even first time puppy proprietors could be attentive to greater valuable than that. i do no longer care how linked you're to the dogs, supply it up so it has of project to be in a house atmosphere and area of a p.c.. that relatively needs it. via no longer such because of the fact the domestic dog into your p.c.. you're dealing with in all probability existence threatening issues. A German Shepherd is a fearsome element to work out much less administration whilst it turns into aggressive and you're putting your loved ones, strangers, and that dogs in possibility. this is called elementary experience, God gave it to you for a reason. *upload You asked the question, you do no longer think of you will get unfavorable posts? people shouldn't very own animals in the event that they do no longer take the accountability of them as heavily as they do a human. And, for the checklist, i do no longer equate human existence, to an animals, I do notwithstanding experience that each and all and sundry existence could be enjoyed and not taken with no attention. I additionally discover it incredible which you're saying hes an "astounding puppy so a techniques..." yet in addition state which you tie him up so he "would not rip our friends dogs to shreds". that may not an "astounding puppy". It amazes me that everybody can very own a puppy, and much greater, that folk like this could have babies. *upload this is called freedom of speech. additionally, the acceptable suited grammar could be, Idiots which includes your self; others, no longer "different"; and little ones, no longer "little ones" as you have reported. in line with danger you may learn ideal sentence shape, and utilization of pluralities formerly you tell others they could desire to "learn how to spell".

There's several causes for penumonia, but if your poor puppy has bacterial pneumonia, it responds quite well to treatment. Your vet would have done blood work and x-rays - did he tell you which type your puppy has? Hope he'll be ok!!
