 Distemper or URI?
My husband and I just adopted an 8 month old boxer from the SPCA last week. She's affectionate, sweet, and very intelligent. We were told she would probably develop kennel cough within a week by our vet. My husband works for our vet which makes things easy. So we were prepared for a cough. She began to develop a bit of a cough along with gagging or I guess they call it retching? She's been throwing up white foamy stuff, her eyes have been discharging icky gook, her nose has been runny with green, and her breathing has been short and labored (most of this occurred Sun. afternoon). We kept her overnight @ the vet the last two nights (sun & mon). The Doc said b/c of the green stuff in her nose that he thinks it may be distemper but he hasn't dealt with it in a long time. We've read so much stuff on the internet and it seems that symptoms for many illnesses (kennel cough, URI, distemper, etc.) overlap. They did blood work and gave her antibiotics. My husband said she hasn't been coughing and her breathing is better and she's still eating. We're still worried though. We've grown so attached in such a short time. Do we just wait it out? Is there a surefire way to know EXACTLY what she has? If you have any ideas, please let me know. |
