Well we are home again. This is going to be our million dollar baby. He has a temperature and an upper respiratory/sinus infection but his lungs look fine. He got some nose drops as no matter how I tried I couldn't teach him to blow his nose. lol. and Benedryl . So hopefully he will kick this soon. Other than having to breathe through his mouth, he seems ok, eating etc..

The KC shot should avoid it from turning into pneumonia. They some times have to try a couple of different antibiotics to see which one will work, so it is good that you will get him to the vet early tomorrow. It is important to give him the Pedialyte a couple of times a day, so the KC doesn't cause dehydration. Add it to his food if you have to. Poor baby......please try not to be too upset, but KC can last 3-4 weeks, the stronger the dog the faster they get over it. Your doing everything that you possibly can. I feel bad for you both.

When I took him into vet his nose was a little runny and he was a little coughy but since no fever thought it was from the tube for the anethesia. But this afternoon he feels very warm to me and his nose is so stuffy he is breathing through his mouth. Looks like back to the vet tomorrow. Although don't know what much else they can do for him as he is already on antibiotics. Last thing he needs. Will call them tomorrow morning..Big sigh.
