Do you have a vaporizer that you can put Vicks in, and leave him in the bathroom with that for a while? I've heard of that helping kittens and cats.
Get well, Shermie!

Godspeed Phred and Gini you will be missed more than you ever know..
LOL! "Ohio" is one of the reasons they wanted to do blood work. If he still doesn't improve, one of the possibilities may be that he has a fungal infection. The vet asked where we moved from, then told us that dogs in the midwest are prone to fungal infections, that he doesn't see them on the East coast at all. So keep a watchful eye on your midwest pups!Originally Posted by Cincy'sMom

Assuming amoxycillan equals amoxicillin. Have they cultured the expectorant for antibiotic sensitivity? The chances are the only thing the blood work will do is confirm an elevated WBC count. Hopefully they don't find bacteria in the blood itself. If it were my dog, I'd be asking them why the dog was not being given a combination of Clavamox plus Baytril??? Without the clavulanate component being added to amoxicillin (e.g. Clavamox) the chances of encountering antibiotic resistance to straight amoxicillin is high. Also there is a high level of antibiotic resistance to Cephalexin for the two primary bacterial agents involved in canine pneumonia.Originally Posted by cyber-sibes
Getting a humidifier that actually sprays a fine mist of water in the bathroom might help.
The idea the Vet is even suggesting a fungal infection, when you started with a Kennel cough like infection that has progressed into a bacterial pneumonia is strange.
That is strange - and I don't understand why he wouldn't have prescribed something broadbased like clavamox or even doxycycline to begin with. I still can't believe your vet gave your sick dog vaccines - I would be so pissed!
I hope Sherm feels better soon. My Molly had pneumonia shortly after we got her, it was rough
Thank you Kay for the awesome siggy!!!

Ah Sherman, sweetie. More prayers going out for you, handsome boy.
Oh Pat, I am stunned! Is this something contagious? Do you have to keep him segregated from Star?
I liked Catty1's suggestion of the vaporizer, if you have one.
Keeping paws crossed and prayers said for Sherman and all of you.
