Hello everyone! I started this topic because I'm a little worried about my dog; I have one of one year old, is a westie, since she was small has had some allergy problems, due to being prone to suffer dermatitis as is normal in this kind of dogs, the thing taht worries me, and the veterinarians have not solved, is that a month she breathes badly, expectorates a lot and generates such a quantity of mucus that it even chokes and coughs.
her veterinarian, as is common, unfortunately, in the presence of a few hundred of fever prescribed antibiotics, it is possible to say that she is a very energetic puppy, and that those tenths of fever would surely be produced by the exercise itself or probably by inflammation that she may suffer, but certainly do not come from any bacteriological or viral infection.
did the antibiotic treatment for 5 days and followed exactly the same.
I returned to the vet's office and she injected cortisone, as an anti-inflammatory, this worked, the dog went a whole day without expectorating or coughing. I said her that we could cancel the treatment with antibiotics and replace it with anti-inflammatories but it did not seem appropriate.
Does anyone knows if it is possible to use doxycycline in very low doses as an anti-inflammatory for dogs in the same way that it can be used in humans as the C's said? Could it work ?, The dog weighs 9.7 kg.
Many thanks for spending a little time reading my query, I hope someone can solve this question
I send you a big hug
