Bulldogs World

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting as I am desperate to do anything and everything I can to make sure Bella (my 5.5 month old EB Puppy :) stays healthy and has the best chance at recovering from her respiratory infection. Here's the situation:

After I took her into the vet 2.5 weeks ago (Mar 30th) for lethargy/clear nasal discharge & clear foamy vomiting he diagnosed Respiratory Infection & prescribed:

First Visit: Cefa pill - 250mg - Once/day for 10 days 

Then, she seems to get better but after 14 days I took her back (Mar 13th) because she seemed to be sick again - still somewhat lethargic, hacking and then a new symptom of yellow disharge - appetite was fine, no vomiting

Second Visit he prescribed: Clavamox tablet - 250mg 2 times/day for 14 days. He said after that we'd do a culture test if it doesn’t get all of the bacteria.

In the meantime I was doing some research online & read this article HERE. I then questioned if we are treating her properly. I also came across this wonderful board realizing the power in numbers – many heads are better than 1.. especially as this is my first bulldog.

For now, she seems to be better for the short run (less hacking (maybe 3-4 times/day) and snotty nasal discharge. No Lethagy). However, I’m afraid we’re in what the article describes the temporarily gets better, then worse. The article even refers to Clavamox (which she is taking) saying it will seem to get better & then worse ultimately not working. 

I’m scared and just want to make sure I’m not leaving any stone unturned and look back saying “if you had only thought of that sooner” as it’s now been  2+ weeks. Anyway, thank you so much in advance for your time and feedback.
