Hi - L.D.'s recovery has been going well though for a while, he has seemed a bit weak since before the surgery. Anyway, I am a bit worried today as he has been...
Catherine, This sounds more like something is stuck rather than AP. How is he acting otherwise? There were times when Otis (died 5/13/03) would hack away for...
Subject: Re: [LP] coughing question ... Does L.D. have heart disease? At different stages some kinds can cause coughing as well. Joanne +++++++++++++++++++ ...
Hi Catherine I agree with what the others have said, but I also think there is no one way to cough that might be a tip off in all dogs as a rule in or out of...
Hi All, Corky has also been doing some coughing and not the usual type. It isn't constant but when he coughs it sounds wet. I'm no expert but I listened to ...
Coughing can also possibly be attributed to tracheal collapse. My Sammy was misdiangosed for a year by several vets from everything from congestive heart...

Betty, If the coughing persists, I strongly recommend that you have a chest x-ray ASAP to determine of AP is present. If so, in the beginning, a large dose of...

I should have asked this in my first post. Is it common for dogs with UTI's to have accidents in the house? Brandi has never had a UTI so I am not sure about...
Hi Everyone and a big thankyou for all the signs of AP I've read since joining this list and the info last night. X-ray confirmed the AP and they gave him a...
Yes. Very common. I've had UTIs. You feel like you need to go every five minutes. Consult with the vet first, of course, but there are over-the-counter meds...
Hi Corrine, Yes, they can have accidents with UTI and sometimes that is the first sign. You should get a C&S on a urine. Betty and Corky [Non-text portions of...
Kelly, What kind of over the counter meds are there? We are picking up the antibiotics later today. Brandi is drinking good so at least I don't have to worry...
It's been so many years, I don't remember the names. Are you picking up the antibiotics at the vets? If so, I'd suggest dropping by a pharmacy and making a...
Boomer just came down with ap - don't know from what - do dogs with this have to be hospitalized or can they be treated at home? What is the safest food for...
Terri, I hope Boomer is on antibiotics. If you caught it early, you can treat it at home--otherwise, hospitalization might be called for (it really depends on...
Terri Is Boomer at home and on what meds? The food should be small meatballs- -check out the pre and post op suggestions--but let's address how the AP was...
Terri I hope you took Boomer into the vet - he needs to be diagnosed via xray and given the A/B the doc recommends. Boze is one week out from his bout with AP...
