They gave him the KC shot, so it just maybe like us when we get a flu shot, we can still have symptoms. The KC shot should avoid it from turning into pneumonia. They some times have to try a couple of different antibiotics to see which one will work, so it is good that you will get him to the vet e

Think the little one has kennel cough.  When I took him into vet his nose was a little runny and he was a little coughy but since no fever thought it was from the tube for the anethesia.  But this afternoon he feels very warm to me and his nose is so stuffy he is breathing through his mouth.  Lo

At vet today he was just a little over ten pounds - she said he could actually gain a little weight. He checked out OK - has salve for the congunctivitis, heartworm preventative - which we will use a few months and then test to see if he really is still positive for heartworm because he still h

I so understand the feelings you are going through. We lost our precious little boy, Poco, in August - he was 16 years old. I thought that was the worst day of my life until his sister unexpectedly passed two months later. It is such a hole in your heart and life when they are gone. Prayers

Thank you so much for your input.  I will try both the lotrimin/hydrocortazone mixture and the tea tree oil.  In my mind, anything I can do naturally has to be better than the poisons the vet is suggesting.  It may be necessary to go to those in the end but not right now.  He is a little perkier
