My dog recently had pneumonia. He got a clean bill health a few weeks ago, however, I have noticed that he is panting more than usual and I wondered if this could be something left over from being sick. He hasn't slowed down in any other ways, but frequently when we get back from a walk or park visit he sits and pants excessively for a while after. I shove water in his face, so he is definitely getting water. He's a long haired dog and I thought he might be overheated for summer. So I got his hair heavily cut back but he's still panting. I just want to know if I should be concerned again and take him back to the vet.

Hi. I hadn't had my dog vaccinated since his first year wellness program. Less than 2 weeks ago I could him vaccinated(5-way). A week after the vaccinations he began to have trouble jumping, had heavy breathing during our walk and eventually became barely able to walk that evening. He also began to regurgitate white foam off and on all night. The next day(Friday) I took him to the vet and they diagnosed him with kennell cough. She prescribed doxycycline. I went home and gave him the antibiotic. An hour later he regurgitated everything, not just white foam but also kibble. I didn't attempt to give any more antibiotics. He continued to regurgitate and was very weak physically. He also stopped eating and would attempt to drink water however while standing over his bowl he would regurgitate while trying to drink. The next day I went to a different vet and she recommended xrays. The xray showed and enlarged esophagus and she suspected megaesophagus and said he could have aspiration pneumonia. She sent me home with an additional antibiotic, a muscle relaxer and some soft, high calorie food. I attempted to feed him the food with the pills inside, he got halfway theough but was having a hard to getting it down. Soon he regurgitated most everything. He again attempted to drink water but was unable. I took him to emergency to be hospitalized. They kept him on IV fluids for he night. They released him the next morning saying he was doing better but when I picked him up I could see that he wasn't any better. I took him to another vet clinic, told them the signs and they suspected he has myasthenia gravis and had developed aspiration pneumonia from it. They told me his prognosis is poor. Since it's a holiday weekend they've been unable to diagnose him with MG even though he has all the symptoms: severe muscle weakness, constant regurgitation, weak bark, excessive drooling, urinating randomly, unable to squat to deficate, etc. He's been hospitalized at this clinic since Sunday. He's been receiving treatment for the pneumonia but wasn't improving much. I convinced them yeaterday to start him on mestinon to begin treating the MG. They wanted to wait for an official diagnoses but that may not be confirmed for another week since they had to send the blood out to another lab. Last night they said he seemed to be doing a little better. His pneumonia isn't serious enough yet to require suction treatment or oxygen. His breathing seems ok. He has had one tube treatment to drain some liquid from his stomach to attempt to decrease regurgitation. Again last night doing slightly better they said he's moving around a little more and mostly resting comfortably but continuing to have regurgitating episodes especially when they take him outisde to do his business. Although they are giving him a poor chance to make it in the long run I'm more optimistic. I think given his age and general good health before this episode being triggered by the vaccinations I believe he can make it. I understand the recovery process for MG is a long one and he may not go into remission for months. So my question is how long should i expect to wait unitl I start seeing more improvement. Should I be preparing for the worst(euthanasia) or do I have reason to believe he'll pull through. I've read that early diagnosis and treatment is key and I feel like he received treatment somewhat quickly after the first symptoms. His heart rate is good, no fever, gum color is normal. I'm just looking for some positive feedback and maybe some advice on possible treatment options. Also should I transfer him to a clinic who may feel more optimistic? They keep telling me his prognosis is poor. Thanks

What can I give my puppy to eat he keeps throwing up his food I'm afraid he'll die I took him to the vet he is on a antibiotics is thair any thing else I can do

My puppy is 7 months old. We got her from an animal shelter about a week ago, she just started showing symptoms 3 days ago. She is coughing a lot and very lethargic. The vet said she has pneumonia in both sides of her lungs. They are giving her proper dosage however if the problem worsens they say they'll hospitalize her. My questions is what should I do to help? How long should are walks be? (she doesn't want to go out as it is but we take her quite often since she's a puppy and still being house trained) I'm also giving her chicken with her meals, per vets advice. And also we do steam showers. But she's still very uncomfortable, is there anything else you could advise I do?
