[QUOTE="regolith, post: 654711, member: 9267"] Hillsdown; are you guys seeing a lot of resistance to oxytetracycline? That's what the last two vets who've diagnosed pneumonia in my animals have prescribed. They were both wrong (neither animal had pneumonia)... because I know so much better than two different vets :help: So needless to say, the drug didn't work in either case. Must we warn beginners about SL in every thread...?? They are all signs of a sick animal. Oddly enough, I've *never* seen a severely dehydrated animal presenting coughing as a major symptom. To answer your question Rob - yes, it sounds like pneumonia. *But* that doesn't mean it is. A number of other conditions can show similar symptoms. Looking at an animal like this, I either call the vet out for a correct diagnosis and treat as recommended... or hit her with a good dose of antibiotics and observe to see if she improves. [/QUOTE]
