Hello Briar,
I am sorry your cat is having such difficulties. Because she is having breathing problems (and for such a long time) it is probably best to go to the vet and get some additional help. I hope she feels better soon!

I Have A 4 Year Old Pit Bull. The Last Few Days He Has Been…
I have a 4 year old pit bull. The last few days he has been sluggish with sneezing, runny eyes and an occasional nonproductive cough. Today, I noticed two enlarged lymph nodes. No appetite or voiding problems. Our other dog is fine. He is not around other dogs. We live in the country and his yard time is supervised.

My Cat, Stella, Is Seeming To Have A Hard Time Passing A Hairball…
Hi there!
My cat, Stella, is seeming to have a hard time passing a hairball. She will have a coughing fit and then lay down and moan and breathe loudly for about 10-45 minutes after her fit, purr and then go to sleep.
I’ve tried giving her hairball assistance treats but it hasn’t seemed to work. She just can’t seem to get the hairball out. Is there anything I can do to help her?
Thanks.

His Coughing Decreases/stops When He Lies Down, Or Is Still…and Becomes More Agitated When Hes…
His coughing decreases/stops when he lies down, or is still…and becomes more agitated when hes moving around. He ate a lil food 12 hrs ago. Ive been feeding him water with a plunger because i havent seen him drink anything. But now he just drank a good amount of water on his own. But coughing is still the same. Also, when he coughs, he sometimes spits up VERY FROATHY type little puddles. Is there anything I can do?

Hello! I Have A One Year Old Yorkie. He Has Been Having Some Problems Recently…
Hello! I have a one year old Yorkie. He has been having some problems recently – he started coughing and it sounds like he has something stuck in his throat. This gets worse when he is excited about something or when he is about to be taken for a walk. He vomitted only once and after that the coughing got more severe. I took him to two vets – one told me that he has tonsilitis and prescribed some antibiotics. The situation got better for several days but now he is coughing again. When we visited him for the second time, he recommended having my dog’s tonsils removed. The other one told me that my dog had a problem with an elongated soft palate which I found very strange for I didn’t know that Yorkies can have such problems. Also, he made this diagnosis just by listening to him coughing, without any kind of examination. Other than coughing, my dog is active and hasn’t lost his appetite. Can you please help us?

Adam Wysocki I’m wondering if that is a possible allergic reaction to Dextromethorphan? What did the vet say?

Kelly Furgason Hello,
I’m glad that you are at a vet now to see if any reaction is happening. Robitussin can be used by dogs (it’s not cleared by FDA for use in dogs, but many vets to use it to treat)…I’ve never heard of any reactions with it, but I’m sure there are some dogs that do.
Would be interested to hear back from you after the vet does the exam.

Yes so be careful with your pet try to avoid bee stings and poison ivy if they do get allergy give them Benadryl
Oh he has terrible allergies just never noticed the lymph nodes before.
Yes give him Benydrl mix with water
Gave him Benadryl. He is on the couch with his blankie now.
Ok
Sorry pressed wrong button!
I don’t know what Melina is telling you to be honest but your dog needs more than Bendryl. This doesn’t sound like allergies to me it sounds like infection. Sneezing, runny eyes, cough and enlarged lymph nodes, sluggish? ..you need to take him to a Vet before he gets any worse.
Take him to a Vet!!
He is on antibiotics so hopefully he will perk up soon. Thanks everyone! He has never been sick before.
Thanks. He is on antibiotics now. That’s my baby so I couldn’t sit and wait. He isn’t happy right now because he got shots but a doggy cookie helped.
So pleased you saw Krista and my replies….I’m sure he will recover soon with antibiotics. Can i just say some Probiotic would help while hes on the meds. Natural live yoghurt on his food, a couple of teaspoons a couple of times a day. Hope hes better soon!
My baby got stung by a bee 2 times about every month so we gave him Benydrl , Benydrl is Medicean for allergy if u google it then u would understand but since it’s strong for him u need to mix with water like my baby
I have probiotic tabs. Will that work? He really isn’t hard to give oral meds to.
Are they Probiotic tablets for dogs? If they are and you know the dose to give him then yes. I wouldn’t give him Probiotic tablets for humans though….I don’t know if they would be safe for dogs. I know you’ll be safe with yoghurt though.
