Hi All,
I am worried tonight about my big boy. Stevie has been coughing and off his
food since Saturday. Today it was much worse and he appeared somewhat more
distressed. At times it seems that he has something caught in his throat
that he is trying to get rid of. He has been unable to rest comfortably and
of course unable to eat. Drinking is ok. I took him to the vet tonight, he
examined him thoroughly and found nothing in his throat, foreign anyways.
He has drawn blood to try to find some answers. In the mean time, he has put
him on Amoxicillin and a cough suppressant so that he might get some rest.
His lymph glands are very enlarged in his neck and very firm. His throat is
very red but of course he has been coughing for almost three days. He is not
himself and is quite lethargic. So, I am turning to the list for any
suggestions, thoughts, feelings, and perhaps a prayer or two. I realize that
it may seem inconsequential to some, but for those of you who know Stevie's
story, as well as me, you also know that his mum is a terrible worrier!!!
Stevie of course is my heart and my soul, he is my confidante and my buddy,
he is my support and he is my strength. Please let me know if anyone has any
experience with these symptoms.
Karen and Stevie
