Max isn't acting right this am
Submitted by hezzbullies on April 20, 2010 - 11:58pmWe just got up and let Max out (he sleeps in a crate) and he isn't acting right. Ears are being held back more, his breathing seems a little more noticable (but I wouldn't say labored) and he has "thrown up" white foaming stuff. He has thick clear drool hanging from his mouth, not common for him. He did go potty and had a BM. I say this because, a week and a half ago he had a steak bone that he swallowed in a gulp and I have been worried about a possible obstruction. He has been fine though up until about 4 days ago and I thought he might have picked up kennel cough at a show. His runny nose was clear and he was coughing-but all that went away yesterday and then this morning- he just isn't right.
Anyone have any ideas?

Back from vet
OK, Max is still about the same-although maybe resting a little more comfortably. Xray confirmed slight consolidation in the left lung, probably pneumonia. Vet doesn't think he aspirated lake water the other day, due to location of consolidate. Also did a film of abdomen, so I wouldn't worry about an obstruction, that was clear. CBC was sent as well. Max had a temp of 103.5.
They gave him something for his fever and started him on Clavamox. So we're keeping our fingers crossed that he starts to perk up tomorrow.
Thanks,

Terrible bully mom
I don't have a mercury thermometer, however his nose is warm and dry. Yeah, we're going to take him in. Thanks

Should say "visit" not cisit:-(

Might want to make a vet cisit. Have you taken his temp?
Kennel Cough can quickly become dangerous in our breed. I would suggest a quick trip to your vet. My Beagle had teh same symptoms after a bout with Kennel Cough and I took him right in. Saved his life. He had a terrible case of pneumonia, and the drooling was from a high fever.
I am not saying your baby is in big trouble, but take the temp right away and if it is elevated, get right to your vet.
