Let me ask you something then, should it be going away in a week or so with his sneezing cause now he no longer coughs just sneezing now. I don't know it seems to be working the medicine, cause he's sneezing less and now when he does sneeze like mucus does come out now. I don't know if that is better or worse lol. I never dealt with this. Anyway the vet gave us medicine for him to take for 2 weeks and its called doxycycline, is that used for what supposedly he has.
My husband is all worried that its gonna make him sicker, which it hadn't he hasn't had an upset stomach or anything like it from that, and like I said it seems to be getting better than worse. I have my friend checking with her vet on some things for me, she trust her vet a lot and she's really good with giving a little advice for me. I wish I lived closer to her in her city I could just take Paco over to her to look over. Thanx though for everyone else for the help. We've had dogs before, but never a smaller breed, and I'm thinking that you may have to be more careful with the smaller breed and they're health is this so or what. Sorry with all the questions. But you guys seem helpful. --- In [email protected], Pam B <floridapos...@...> wrote: > > I don't know what my little Bruiser had about six weeks ago, but she did the > cough/sneeze thing too.
