What's wrong with my baby??

**ashleycat** · 04-03-2006, 10:09 AM

I just adopted a 4 yr old Aussie. He was being treated for a little doggie cold and I came home with anti biotics for him. His nose was looking better. Then a few days after his treatment stopped. He's sneazing again.

His backside area is itching him too. He's a little flaky there. He's got really thick fur there. What can I do there?

He pants a lot, could this be due to his lil cold? Could he not be able to breathe thru his nose much?

Back to the vet! Have them check for fleas where he's itching, and discuss the possibility of allergies with them for both the sneezing and itching.

I agree that he should be seen by a vet again. But the panting seems to be an aussie thing, Kaige pants constantly & has had exams, bloodwork etc... and I also know of a ton of other aussies that pant a lot. BUT since he has other problems it may actually be related to something in your case. Better to be safe than sorry. I wish you luck.

dh gave him benedryl last night and it helped a lot. I think it is allergies. Cus his nose looks fine. When he had his cold, his nose looked horribly chapped.

Nothing else is runny. His poo is back to normal.
