My mini poodle, Maggie, started "honking" and after it began to get progressively worse, I yanked her up and took her to the Vet yesterday morning. The Vet said she had the severest form of Bacterial Bronchial infection, gave her a shot of antibiotics, steriods, and gave me Prednisone and Hydrocodone. This morning she's been vomiting up blood and the front of her neck is terribly swollen, so I'm taking her to her regular Vet for a second opinion on the treatment protocol. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything for two days and I think she needs to be on IV fluids, too. Anyway, we are worried sick about her. We are heading to N. Carolina in the morning and were planning to take her with us so we could give her her meds, but hubby thinks she needs to be in doggie hospital while we're gone. He may be right. I'm just going around in circles trying to figure out how to relieve her suffering and getting our baby well again. Prayers for us that we can do what we need to do to get Maggie well again. I hate watching her so listless and so not her happy, healthy self.
