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

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?

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.

Kelly Furgason Hello,
It sounds like your dog is vomiting bile. Sometimes if a dog hasn’t eaten in awhile the bile can irritate the stomach and then they vomit. How long does your dog go between meals? If your dog only eats once a day, try doing twice per day…or even three times per day if possible. Use the same daily amount of food, just divide it up into more than one feeding.Of course, it could be other things that can cause this, but this would be my first thought.

Laura Kyle I have seen animals run around and act normal after their leg is splinted. Can’t say that I have ever seen a dog run around with a fractured leg and not limp or hold the leg up. Even dogs with toe fractures hold their legs up.
She Has Sores In Ears & Swollen Neck & Face. Could This Be Strangles? Ears…
She has sores in ears & swollen neck & face. Could this be strangles? Ears are oozing and pup is lethargic. I have limited income for vet and would like to walk back in with an idea. It reads like some descriptions of Strangles, just backwards from how I read it.

Laura Kyle Hello, did your vet take X-rays?
-
Carrie Frank She felt where the injury was and decided that the treatment would be the same because it wasn’t snapped. wrapped, pain meds and revisit in a week. Now with added symptoms I am glad she didn’t add the expense.

Laura Kyle She might need further diagnostics. Maybe her initial pain was related to the joint pain? I would have bloodwork done and perhaps survey X-rays. Good luck! I hope she improves

Hello. I Recently Got A Dog By A Woman Who Said She Could No Longer…
Hello. I recently got a dog by a woman who said she could no longer take care of her. The lady said that she also thinks the dog is pregnant. About 3 weeks later her abdomen had grown and her nipplez were easily seen under her fur. I really thought she was pregnant but yesterday I noticed she was licking herself and she was bleeding. Later a male dog came to her. Nothing happened though. Was this her gaining weight because of regular meals and she’s in heat or is there some pregnancy complications

Anonymous please have her seen by a vet, and keep her away from dogs until she is spayed.
i would be concerned about her thyroid, depending on age and breed. when was her last bloodwork?
She is roughly 9-10 yrs old and sorry but what do u mean by bloodwork
i mean your vet takes blood from your dog (this should be done annually) and screened for any abnormalities which would indicate illness.
if you haven’t had this done in the past 6 months, i’d get it done today.
She also has a little diarreah.I am taking her to vets tomorrow but would like an idea of what to expect it to be.
my concern was mentioned in my first comment. this sounds like hypothyroid. asuming that’s what it is, it can be managed with drugs. but a senior blood panel is a necessary annual thing.
Thank you for your help much appreciated
