More help needed with Benji please...
Hey there,
So Benji finished his antibiotics on Thursday. He's continuing having the Romilar solution three times a day but he just does not seem to be getting any better. I've been back to the vets three times now and each time he just tells me to keep on going with the medication and tells me that I need to be patient.
He's still coughing all through the night and in the daytime too. Im considering trying a different vet as I'm getting really worried that it's something more serious than just kennel cough. Maybe heartworm or something?! Do you think I should take the vet's advice and just be patient, or should I try another vet ASAP?
Thanks everyone

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I went back to a different vet this morning and she was much, much more thorough. She has given me antinflamatories and more antibiotics for the cough. It's apparently difficult to prescribe for him as he is so small - he only weighs 1.4 kilograms. So I've got the new medicine for a week. If they don't help she's asked me to go back and he will go for an X-Ray. She suggested perhaps it could be that he has a malformed trachea, just as you've suggested Jules.
So here we go with plan C! I really hope this works. Will keep you all updated.
