Yeah I thought so too, but he suggested him going on the antibiotic to help it go away. All he said was respiratory infection but it wasn't kennel cough. we try to keep him in only letting him go out for the bathroom. I tried keeping him in and letter him use papers but, he won't go. He'll hold it till I take him outside. So I just take him for short quick walks and then inside he goes. He only goes out 2 times a day. That's cause he lets us know when he's got to go. He gets angry if we don't take him out for the restroom. So I don't know if he ever needed to stay in how to get him to be paper trained or something like that.
Thanx for everyone's help. --- In [email protected], Peggy & The Girls <phr...@...> wrote: > > Now you would think that this vet would tell exactly what he has....if it is > dog flu it is highly contagious and the kind thing to do, is not to take him > out publicly so other dogs don't get it.
