Wellie had his booster shots, including Bordetella (shot version) about 2 weeks ago. Last week he starting coughing.
Back to the vets we went. Took an x-ray, lungs are clear, were worried about Pneumonia again. But, his trach is inflamed from the cough. So back on Clavamox he went, plus a cough suppressant because we don't want
him vomiting and aspirating again.
I asked if it was because of the bordetella shot and she said no. Well, when I called to postpone his neuter/palate surgery, I was told the shot could have very well caused it.
No idea if this is true or not. But the more and more I deal with vets, the more and more I realize they're all about opinions and very rarely facts.
I'm beyond pissed this happened again. My poor boy can't catch a break.
Plus, the cough medicine completely knocks him out. I mean within minutes of taking it, he's out cold. It's the strangest thing. The med. is called Torbutrol. Anyone have any experience with it?
