She's okay - I think the vet was wrong in his diagnosis.
She was poorly all that day and the next but then she just got better and acts like normal. Neither of the others have any symptoms at all (thankfully)
She's still on antibiotics but I am not convinced...

Ok I stole this from there apparently works especially since it's a virus one dollop of honey - buy the most expensive you can afford, manuka is the best one dollop of blackcurrant jam mix with a little cooled boiled water to a sticky paste add 2 drops of teatree essential oil or eucalyptus essential oil to each batch. Give to dogs as and when, as often as you like, nothing to overdose on, my dogs love it. Ot works on humans too - take a little sherry glass size portion as a dose - helps to get rid of colds and flu much quicker. I had a little look at this as always wary about essential oils and I don't think i'd ever give them something with Teatree oil in- I thought it was just for external use www.teatreewonders.com/eating-or-drinking-tea-tree-oil.html#Going to try manuka honey in warm water only - manuka honey is an anti viral / anti bacterial product that is excellent for digestion (why I take it - I have digestion problems) |

Oh and I rang my vets - my usual vet is away and I said that Pixel is wheezing now and started coughing today but they seem to think it's viral now, didn't want to see her and said if she's still poorly Monday or isn't acting like herself bring her in. Not very impressed with that.
My vet is back Monday so I'll take her then.

Aww, I'm so sorry. Poor Pixel. Mari ended up with a very mild case of kennel cough when I first got her (assume it was a side effect of the vaccination as I had her breeder give her that vac before getting her). It was basically just the occasional cough. I hope Pixel is feeling better soon the poor thing. |
