sweet_ceana Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Poor guy, he won't eat anything. He wanted to sniff the knuckle bones we bought from the butcher, and then turned his head. I can't entice him with anything! I don't have a seringe so poor guy has been getting some water in his system by way of Turkey baster. It is crude, but it works, and he definetly perks up afterword. He is so sweet and sticks his nose into a tissue for you to wipe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc4ever Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 He is so sweet and sticks his nose into a tissue for you to wipe it. Awwww....poor baby. Hope he feels better soon. He's lucky he has you to watch over him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuffi Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Another "natural" treatment, newbie advice: When we adopted Bonnie, she came to us sneezing and with a runny nose (no coughing, though). She got better within a few days but then my other dog Jerry picked it up, too, and had it a bit worse. I would have taken him to the vet if the discharge from the nose had turned yellow/green, but since it stayed clear, I gave him what my mum forced upon me when I was a kid and had a cold (actually, I hated it): a chamomile steam treatment So I put Jerry in his travel (airline) crate, and then placed a bowl of hot steaming water, with a heap of chamomile flowers in it (actually I just put in 10 chamomile tea bags) right in front of his crate, and then covered all (crate and bowl) with a blanket for 10 minutes or so, twice a day for two days. It really seemed to help, he was better within 24 hours! Veronika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Poor little pooch. The vet is not sure if it is KC or Distemper. Keep your fingers crossed that it is not the latter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy in AZ Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Oh no! Is he running a high fever? Did they give him fluid sub Q or IV? Hope the little guy comes out of whatever it is alright. (and you too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
