pneumonia

Avatar f tn s Amoxi-drop how long should it take to work for the coughing in on sounds she makes. Took my kitty to the vet after she ate my dogs pain pill and I had to induce vomiting under vet recommendation. Some of the fluids got in lungs and it caused walking pneumonia.
973741 tn?1342342773 I love my pooch and hate to hear of this illness spreading around and they think it is going to get worse. They think it is bacterial spreading from dog to dog so the recommendation is no doggie day care, kennels or socializing with their fur pals right now. Hard to do but could save your dog. Dogs get sick very quickly and may develop fatal pneumonia from this. It's no joke. Thoughts? Are you worried?
Avatar n tn I would take your dog to be checked by the vet. If it is his breathing which is congested, it is possible for dogs to develop pneumonia, and you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell if that was the case. If it's only his nose, then there has to be a reason, and it's best the vet checks him. I would do that before you start trying to treat him yourself.
Avatar n tn 67 years old, now 75 has been diagonosed with COPD and gets chronic pneumonia. 43 now 53 has suffered a collapsed lung, chronic pneumonia, and fibers in his lungs. What I viewed as an isolated instances has got me to think differently. Home has carpet that is 28 years old. This carpet was installed during a time with the older two were smokers. The younger occupant moved in 13 years ago. The home has also had dogs, cat, birds. Outside of asbestos what causes fibers in the lungs?
Avatar f tn I found one of my 1 day old puppys, lifeless this morning after her mom had layed on her, it hadn't been to long before. I began rubbing her vigorously, swinging her down as though trying to bring her to life after a c-section. She coughed up milk, thank goodness she was alive!! Milk came out her mouth and nose, I cleared it the best I could. Now almost 12 hrs later, you can't even tell it happened. She's nursing, sleeping, acts the same as all the rest of her siblings.
17344032 tn?1455826300 6 months ago my18 year old standard yorkshire terrier was diagnosed by the vet to have Bronchitis (Pneumonia) and pancreatitis For these conditions the vet prescribed 1 10mg Veraflox daily for 3 months, 2 50mg vivitonin, and 2 5mgprednisolone steroid daily for the rest of his life. He also has the royal caine gastrointestinal dry dog food.
Avatar f tn Because my dog interacts with other dogs a lot, when he developed a "cough" I immediately took him to the vet. He had no fever, is eating and drinking normally and his activity level is normal - he doesn't at all act like a sick dog. I have kept him away from other dogs to avoid getting them sick. The vet diagnosed him with kennel cough and put him on Doxycycline 100 mg - he takes 1 1/2 pills twice a day. He started them on Tuesday.He has also had a Bordetella vaccine.
Avatar n tn Could be kennel cough if she was around other dogs. This can be serious if left go. Call your vet tuesday. They can give her a shot.
Avatar f tn This Sounds like a respiratory infection going on.....Common in shelter dogs....However, pneumonia can be a result if left untreated......Pneumonia causes respiratory distress (Weird sounds) & death if left untreated....Oral or injectable antibiotics (From your Vet) are used to treat..... This girl is depending on you for help.....Please do not wait any longer...She needs a doctor, fast......Hurry---Make the call, now! Keep us updated & good luck.......Thank you for adopting......
Avatar f tn Achest x-ray showed a shadow on his bronchial tube that the doctor said might be pneumonia. While he was in the hospital he had an abcessed tooth which was removed with several others. He came home yesterday and seemed a little better. Today he is not eating again. Any advice?
Avatar n tn She needs to be treated for a Upper Respiratory Infection before it turns into Pneumonia and becomes dangerous.....Good luck and let us know the outcome.
Avatar n tn The wheezing may be a simple allergy issue. Dogs suffer from seasonal allergies the same way humans do, and with Spring coming on they can get runny noses that got further into a bacterial infection. The loss of appetite and lethargy has me concerned as even dogs who are very ill will usually at least try to eat a little bit. If your dog is noticeably wheezing, you may have a case of pneumonia or bronchitis on your hands.
Avatar m tn Has your dog been checked for the common diseases associated with megaesophagus? These diseases are: Hypothyroid, Myasthenia gravis, and Addison's Disease. If your dog does not have these diseases than he probably has idiopathic megaesophagus which means that the cause can't be found. Megaesophagus usually occurs in large breed dogs. It is uncommon for it to occur in Yorkshire terrier's but is not unheard of.
Avatar n tn In addition to what Mark has said, try some alternative food that is usually more gentle on a dog's stomach, such as small amounts of cooked chicken (on its own or mixed with a small amount of cooked white rice). While this is not a cure for whatever is ailing him, it will give him a little energy. If he's not eating, it's no surprise there are no bowel movements, so don't worry about that for now.
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me... I have two dogs, they are both 11 yrs old and have been healthy their entire lives. About a month ago, one of them began coughing- a dry hacking cough that comes on suddenly or after what seems like some difficulty breathing. She is a jack russell terrier normally around 20lbs and has gained about 3.5 lbs in the past couple months, which I'm not sure has anything to do with her cough.
Avatar f tn I hope all you Mommas are staying warm here in Ohio its 5 degrees with -16 degree windchill. And throughout the day the windchill will drop to -40! You can get frostbitten in 5 minutes in this weather. I let my dog outside to go to the bathroom I have never seen him go so fast! But if you do have to go out in this please get nice and bundled up!! Don't risk getting pneumonia for this ridiculous weather!!
8550901 tn?1400740690 it is always best to take a new rescue dog to a vet right when you adopt them. Dogs get sick in the shelters, my dog had pneumonia and worms when we first adopted her. Not pooping not normal, dogs normally get the runs when they are anxious. Talk to a vet a the food, it could be making him constipated. Dry food is best for dogs.
Avatar n tn Was the amoxicillin leftover from a previous illness, or recently prescribed for this latest round? If you are trying to treat him yourself, it's a losing battle. Dogs can get upper respiratory infections that can lead to pneumonia - just like people. Please don't wait to get him in to see a vet. You have to make certain that he's on an antibiotic that will hit whatever bacteria is making him sick.
4250330 tn?1388621179 i think i have pneumonia i am always tired even though i get enough sleep im having chest pain cough and pretty much all the signs of this should i go to the doctor ?
Avatar f tn I have gotten Pneumonia 3 years in a row. I got the flu and Pneumonia shot this year and still got iPneumonia. What is going on with me. My doctor keeps giving me steroids that are blowing me up and not stopping me from catching this illness. Please help. Thank you.
Avatar n tn and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia. I was prescribed Robitussin with codeine to help me sleep, although all it really did was tire me slightly. After another week of feeling completely miserable I started to breath better, my nose dried out, and my cough produced less and less green mucus. Sleeping then was hard, but I was able to take my meds, settle down, sleep for about two hours, wake up again from coughing and repeat.
5601163 tn?1370701672 I recently underwent a two week course of Levaquin for pneumonia. On the follow-up visit with my doctor, a chest x-ray showed "right basilar opacity," which caused my doctor to order a CT scan. What does this mean?
Avatar m tn 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia last night. Now she is complaining that she is having lower back pain. Is this kidney infection?
Avatar f tn My baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia, a week ago. She still acts as if she is in pain, and has short rapid breaths. She is on Zeniquin, and a pain med. She was originally in an oxygen kennel for 2 days, and was pretty good when we brought her home. Now it seems like she gets these bouts of gasping for air, her gums are still pink. I am startin to think her vets arent sure what is wrong with her.
Avatar m tn Could be allergies, yes once you have had pneumonia you will have scarring ..it wont affect you, check out online for environmental allergies .
