I have a 4 month old English Bulldog that just got out of the hospital 2 days ago for pneumonia. He was hospitalized for almost 5 days with oxygen therapy and a nebulizer. The first day home he seemed to be doing better, playing, eating, resting comfortably. But now it almost seems to be getting back to what it was his breathing has gotten rough again (almost sounds congested) he is coughing horribly almost sounds like he is trying to cough stuff up and when he is awak he leans his head up against anything he can. And it’s a struggle to get him to eat anything. Is there anything else I should be doing? He has another check up in 2 weeks to get an X-ray done should I make an appt before them?

I have a litter of 8 pug puppies. They are doing well and gaining weight however when they drink from Mum small amounts of milk is coming out of there nose. They have been checked and cleared from cleft and are on antibiotics as a precaution for A.P. They all seem fine but how much is too much milk to come out of nose and will they stop doing this when they adjust to the flow?

My healthy 5 year old dog was brought in last wednesday to get her teeth cleaned. I was told that due to complications while under anesthesia she developed aspirated pneumonia. She had trouble breathing, nose and lips were turning blue, coughing and wheezing. We have been giving her antibiotics, keeping her hydrated and closely monitoring her. She has been through a lot for just going in for a teethcleaning. Is this common? What could have happened? Will her lungs return to normal so her and I can someday return to our daily runs?

My pug Lola has been vomiting for around 3 weeks now. After having an operation to remove a suspected blockage (there wasn’t one) she then contracted aspiration pneumonia. She was on fluids and IV antibiotics for a day before being sent home 2 days ago. Since then she showed some signs of improvement but has started vomiting again - a yellow mucousy liquid (not food). She is coughing a lot and breathing heavily with a runny nose but is generally active and still happy to eat. I’m wondering if the vomiting is good (clearing fluid out of lungs) or not? She’s on antibiotics, anti-emetics and antacids but still vomiting (but not really food just yellow liquid). She’s had x rays, scans and a barium contrast x ray to see how her food is going down. Vet thinks it seems to be going down ok and is at a loss to explain the vomiting. She thinks it may be a defect of the breed (pug) and is even suggesting euthanasia if current treatment doesn’t work. Lola has always been healthy up till now with no apparent breathing difficulties except for the odd snort. As you can imagine I am keen to get to the bottom of this and help her get better as otherwise she is healthy and is a lovely little dog.
