Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on a health problem with my 9 year old male Rottweiler. He was diagnosed with a nasal infection 2 weeks ago and put on antibiotics which we gave him for a week. His original symptoms were mucous discharge from his nose, greenish in colour and sneezing alot. He did not respond to the medication so we took him back to the vet and they prescribed a stronger, higher dose of antibiotics. We also noticed small lesions on his belly a day before the second vet appointment. The vet said this medication would target both the nasal problem and the skin lesions.
It has now been one week on the stronger antibiotics and we are not seeing results to this point. He does not appear to be getting worse but certainly not getting better either. He is also very lethargic. He is eating fine and drinking plenty of water. Has anyone had similar experiences? Should we be looking an alternate diagnosis? Any advice is very appreciated as we are very worried about our boy.
If he does not respond to meds in the next 24-48 hours we are going to seek a second opinion but I'm looking for any similar experiences.
Thank You!
