Stuffed nose, sneezing and Zeniquin
Hi there,
Just thought i'd post and see if I could get some feedback on our situation.. First of all, I have consulted and seem our vet over the couse of this situation I have a 1 year old dog Zelda, that had Pneumonia.. we took her to the vet right away with the symptoms being a cough (like she had a furr ball i her troat) and was extremely lethergic one day.. (had to carry her to the car) she had a Xray.. went on a course of antibiotics (clavamox) and some other medicine (bronchial dialators) improved greatly, she had a follow up a week later and the xray was very good and she was much much better.. we continued the antibiotics for another week, fast forward 3 weeks.. she's off the antibiotics, she is in great spirits and healing up.. but still coughs once a day.. or every second day.. winter is coming around here so we took her in for a check up with the vet just to be safe, we didnt' want a relapse of the Pneumonia. He wasn't too concerned but noticed she had a very slight crackle in her breathing leading him to think the pneumonia wasn't quite gone, he wanted to ensure that that our dog was fully healed. So he prescribed a 10 day cycle of Zeniquin. since then Zelda has developed a nasty nasal irritation and blockage (mostly at nigth time) and has real trouble sleeping at night. she also sneezes quite a bit due to the nasal issue. We're obviously quite worried about these new symptoms especially as she's already on antibiotics. I called the vet straight away, wondering what to do. He said to just continue the course of Antibiotics and give her her a saline nasal spray before bed to help her sleep. just wondering if anyone has seen any allergies or side effects from this Antibiotic. or if i should take matters in to my own hands and take her off the antibiotic. Thanks Alan |
