That sure scared so much.... . We had same problem with our cat Inka 2 years ago. She got medicines because she was coughing a lot. We almost lost her.... .

aww thanks for all the support everyone!! Those prayers must be working he finally started eating normally and he kept it down. We also got some medication for incase he has a worm in him taking all his nutrition out, being a skinny dog, the doctor thought he had a worm. Once he eats normal will give him some medication for that too. thanks again everyone!

How scary! I am glad he is doing better now.

Do you know what shot he had the reaction to?

[LuvGold00]

good thoughts heading your way!

How scary! I am glad he is doing better now.

Do you know what shot he had the reaction to?

were not quite sure, i am thinking it the kennel cough shot, becuase he has never had a alergic reaction to shots before and the that was his first kennel cough, the vet said that we don't have to get him shots now for another 3 years But every 6 mounths we have to give a kennel cough.

[Cinder & Smoke]

that was his first kennel cough ...

But every 6 months we have to give a kennel cough.

WHY?

Why are you now giving him the Kennel Cough shots?

Vets around here will give them on request ... but Doc Mike suggests that
the vaccination isn't totally effective - there are many different "strains"
of kennel cough and they can't all be prevented with the shot.

Kennel Cough is not a serious or fatal disease ... yet it sounds like his reaction
to the vaccination against it might have been fatal ...
Way too big a risk for me to "try it again"!
