Clearly I spend and have spent way too much of my life in academic environments. If I hear 'Dr. Adfadaff' anywhere outside of a medical clinic my immediate unthinking assumption is they've got a doctorate. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BasiaMH) http://familydog.yuku.com/sreply/47856 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 15:57:08 GMT http://familydog.yuku.com/reply/47814/t/Keeping-sick-puppy-hydrated.html#reply-47814 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (talbin) http://familydog.yuku.com/sreply/47814 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:42:00 GMT http://familydog.yuku.com/reply/47803/t/Keeping-sick-puppy-hydrated.html#reply-47803
DH and I were in a checkout line once when the young checkout girl, upon seeing that his credit card says Dr. DH, said, "You're too young to be a doctor, aren't you?" DH tried to politely explain that he's not a physician, a medical doctor, but rather a PhD -- "It just means I was in school for waaay to long... ha ha," he tried to explain.

I just got off the phone with the vet and he's not happy with the color or quantity of Henry's new snottiness, either. Henry comes off the antibiotic tomorrow, and the vet's going to see him on Thursday to see how his system has reacted to being off it, as well as to examine (and possibly culture?) the some of the goop that's terrorizing him.

He's been on an antibiotic for almost a week now -- two doses of Clarimox every day. We actually finish up the regimen that the vet prescribed on Tuesday morning. The vet said the antibiotics were mostly preventative, to keep him from coming down with pneumonia (or at least that was my understanding...). He hasn't said anything about a respiratory infection, though, which is a little troubling.

With coloured snot - definitely needs to be on an antibiotic.

Does he have noisey breathing while he is asleep??

Just wanted to mention, if you aren't sure he's hydrated enough it's better to be safe than sorry. Dehydration can take dogs down pretty quickly, so if you have any questions at all this weekend take him to the vet or e-vet.

I am picturing him with his clogged nose and I really feel for him... never fun for us, surely not for dogs.

Poor Henry. He's really been fighting whatever this is for a while. I hope he's better soon. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (stepnup) http://familydog.yuku.com/sreply/47314 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 13:13:52 GMT http://familydog.yuku.com/topic/5915/t/Keeping-sick-puppy-hydrated.html
Many of you know that Henry (4.5 month old puggle) has been fighting off a cold for almost a month now (!!). While his little body is trying to shake this thing I want to make sure that he's staying properly hydrated, but, as they say, you can lead a pup to his water bowl, but you can't make him drink. Is it a bad idea to give him chicken broth? I'm sure he'd be much more interested in that than plain ol' H2O, but I'm a little afraid of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (windycitypuggle) http://familydog.yuku.com/topic/5915 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:47:40 GMT
