Poodle wrangler Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) What antibiotics is she on? ETA: Something a bit stronger than Keflex, I hope e.g. Augmentin? Edited August 16, 2007 by Poodle wrangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxagirl Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 The vet said theres been afew cases of this going round, so she'd give me the expensive ones.. theyre say "Noroclav" (don't know if thats a brand or what theyre called?) Shes also on "Bisolven Chesty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Noroclav is the same as Augmentin- just different brand names. That's good. Best wishes for her, she looks just gorgeous. I think the Bisolven is supposed to help loosen up the mucous a bit, making it easier to cough up. THe antibiotics are the most important and making sure she drinks enough water.

persephone Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Trust me, you are NOT worrying "too much"!!! She has a serious health problem, and needs you to make sure the vet is doing all he can Best of luck for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haven Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hypotyroistic dogs are thin, fussy, like warmth, dont excercise much and usually have very little fur on the insides of the thighs and underarms.What you describe doesnt sound like hypothyroism. You can do a blood test for the T4levels, might as well do her liver enzymes at the same time. Lots of times liver and thyroid deseases are realted, and dogs benefit from natural diet and natural supplements. Sorry to hear that Bondi is sick, I hope she is better soon! Possibly OT, but for everyone who replied saying it didn't sound like Hypothyroidism, be wary of falling into the trap of expecting all of the specific symptoms or discounting the possibility. Like all illnesses it can affect dogs differently and what may be present in one dog might be absent in another. My girl has Hypothyroidism, she is a healthy weight, not fussy, not bothered by the cold, has plenty of energy (although is more than happy to play couch potato) and has no coat issues. Just using your post as an example of what was said by a few people Myszka, not picking on you specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Any news Boxagirl? Hope the last couple of days have seen some improvement for Bondi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxagirl Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Took Bon back to the vet this morning. Her chest is sounding abit better (still not completely better though), and her glands should go down in time. She has been prescribed another drug- Tribrissen 80, so she is now getting 11 tablets a day (2 X Bisolvon 3 times a day, 2 Tribrissen tabs once a day, and 1.5 clavulox 2 twice a day) So hopefully it clears up soon and i can cut down the bisolven to two times a day! But the vet said it could go on for up to a month Have to take Bondi back on Wednesday for a check up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Better news:) Hope the improvement continues, and in a few days she will be MUCH happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) Glad Bondi is improving. What is the cause of her health issues? Does the Vet know? Is it a secondary condition to a virus or something? Edited August 18, 2007 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxagirl Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yep caused by a virus, and progressivly gotten worse. I didn't even realize she had a virus last week, but she must have coz my sisters dog has the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
