Title: sick pup
Post by: nate on January 12, 2010, 08:45:00 pm
I have a pup that is about 3-4 months old. She has a deep raspy hack that sounds like a deer grunt. Her weight is good. She is not skinny and still very active.

Also eating good

 I have a 3yr old that has the same simptoms and i took him ino the vet and they said it was a chest cold and perscribed anit-biotics and had to get a sec refill and he still has the cough. haven't taken him back yet but he still hunts good and only coughs bad when he gets excited or has been working had all day.

I had something like that in December. It was a viral  respiratory infection but I still treated with antibiotics. It spread fast through my younger dogs but  it didn't seem to effect the dogs health other than that raspy hacking that it caused. Took 4 weeks to get rid of it

sounds like an upper respiratory inefection or kennel cough.  i had the same thing go through my dogs.  Try this it works awesome.  http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/kennel_koff.html  or/and http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/pets_cough_cold.html.  it really works and you don't need a perscription.  if you would rather have a perscription I have used amoxi-drops before.
