It is dangerous to try to diagnose an animal on the internet. . Going outside to do his business won't hurt him.

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. Whatever it is, I sure hope he gets over it real fast, and I am glad that you put him on the antibiotic. > > > ⥠Peggy & The Girls ⥠> > > > -----Original Message----- > From: mrs. nava <trisha_navarro1...@...> > To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> > Sent: Sat, Oct 30, 2010 5:35 pm > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re: Question on the food given to us by the vet > > > > > The vet said it wasn't kennel cough that's so I'm guessing its dog flu. He said that he must have caught it from one of the dogs in the shelter. Since he came home from the shelter in a matter of hours he started sneezing and coughing. > > --- In [email protected], Peggy & The Girls <phrpg5@> wrote: > > > > > > Any vet that gave me the wrong dosage of meds , I would never use again! If it were me, I would bring the HW med back and request the the smaller dosage. Which brand did they give you? you can check that site to see what they recommend. Also Chi's are not considered an adult until they are almost 2 yrs old. Their bones are still growing and they need the extra calcuim and protein, since they burn it up faster as a puppy. > > > > Did he say what type of upper resportoary infection he had?

If you should ever have to change vets, it will come in very handy, especially with any test results. > > > > > > > > > > âÂÂ¥ Peggy & The Girls âÂÂ¥ > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: mrs. nava <trisha_navarro1982@> > > To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> > > Sent: Fri, Oct 29, 2010 10:27 pm > > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Question on the food given to us by the vet > > > > > > > > > > Paco is only a year old. While visiting the vet they gave us puppy food, is that okay to give Paco? I'm just wondering. Thanx. Also heart worm medicine was for puppies weighing from 11-25 lbs and he is 10 lbs. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > âÂÂ¥ Peggy & The Girls âÂÂ¥ > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: mrs. nava <trisha_navarro1982@> > > To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> > > Sent: Fri, Oct 29, 2010 10:27 pm > > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Question on the food given to us by the vet > > > > > > > > > > Paco is only a year old.
