Max At Vets - Inflamed Trachea


Took Max to the vets today for a full check up. He has been acting a bit strange lately - been snappy with other dogs which is really unlike him, seems to get puffed out quite quickly and has been coughing after exercise.

Examined him today and he's generally a very healthy boy with everything as it should be. The only problem we found was that his Trachea feels quite inflamed and he is making a strange noise when pressure is applied. His membranes looked slightly pale so we took some blood. All results came back as normal so no signs of anaemia or anything.

He has a 5 day course of antibiotics to see if this helps him. We are going on holiday on Monday for 2 weeks and Max is coming with us. If he is still not right after the holiday then I will have to take him back in and we may have to carry out some further investigation. Fingers crossed that the ABs work!

no such luck

Thanks for the healing thoughts guys he's a bit down in the dumps tonight but I think that's because mummy took him to work and stuck him in a kennel - only to get him out to be prodded and poked and needles stuck in him

Re: Max At Vets - Inflamed Trachea


The little man seems to be in brighter spirits today. I think he was just miffed yesterday when I got him out of his kennel, gave him an AB jab and put him back again and for letting the nasty vet make a bald patch on his leg nasty mummy!

Keeping his walks shorter at the moment as I don't want him to overdo it while he is recovering - he's a bit miffed about that aswell he looked at me as if to say "Was that it?!" He was coughing for about 10 minutes after we got back but his throat seems to have settled down now. He's a little lethargic this evening but I think his walk just knocked it out of him! Plus the ABs might be making him tired.

Here's hoping they kick in soon!
