Does anyone know how to take care of a dog who has pnuemonia and coughs?
I've taken him to see a vet a week ago and fed him with the prescribed medicines. His cough has worsen and his stomach is bloated, I bought him to see a vet again. The vet diagnosed him with pnuemonia and a return visit in 10 days.
I've spent the whole day surfing net for more information on pneumonia but I can't find relevant information on how to take care of a coughing dog. My heart wrenches whenever he coughs, its killing me to not able to do anything to help him feel better. I'll like to know when he coughs what should I do?
Should I carry him sitting up straight and stroke his chest downwards similar to when we human cough? Can anyone help?
I know it is not a pet lovers corner but this is one of the two message boards I visited almost daily and I know many names here. I don't know where else I can seek help and advice now....
