Rescued dog still has yellow nasal discharge after antibiotics.

Yes I would schedule a recheck if the discharge is still brown or yellow and hasn't started to resolve after a few days of antibiotics and other medications as it is possible there is something stuck in the nose causing irritation, or the infection requires more targeted medications. I would also make sure to keep Fray eating and drinking. You can also clear away any nasal discharge that is crusting around the nose to help keep it easier for her to breathe.

Thank you for reaching out to the consultation service. If she is still acting lethargic and has not improved after 10 days of the antibiotic‘s, there are only a few reasons why this is not working. She should be showing signs of improvement by this time if the drugs being used the correct medications for the condition being treated. But obviously something is wrong. First, you may have been giving an antibiotic that was resistant against the infectious agent or whatever is causing the disease. Second, if it is indeed a virus causing the symptoms, then an antibiotic will not be effective. Lastly, maybe the dosage needs to be increased in milligrams as well as frequency. I strongly urge you to contact your veterinarian the soonest possible to have another physical examination performed. You may even need to do some chest x-rays or a cold sure of the respiratory mucus. Please do this before the symptoms worsen and your dog gets sicker. I hope I have helped you today. Thanks for your question.

I recommend to have Bella examined by the veterinarian. The coughing could be related to an infection. The walking funny is not expected and is a little more worrisome. Small puppies cannot regulate their blood sugar well and are prone to low blood sugar. It's best to play it safe and have Bella examined today if possible.

Poor Bella! Her nasal congestion could be due to infection, allergies, nasal masses (benign or malignant) or foreign material in the nasal passages. One thing that you can try at home is to take Bella into a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes twice daily. However, if the nasal discharge continues or is yellow or green, she should be examined by her vet, as this could indicate infection.

Poor Mocha! It's possible that the single course of antibiotics wasn't enough, or this is some other issue ongoing, especially if she is showing new symptoms as well. It would be best to bring her back into your vet for a recheck to see if she needs another course of antibiotics, or additional testing/treatment to address the new issues and treat the old ones. If she is not spayed, the vulva changes could be due to hormonal changes/going into heat, or from irritation due to urinary issues, allergies, or other problems, which may or may not be related to the nasal discharge which is why another exam is best.

Poor Sam! That is unusual and not expected. There are a few possibilities including infection, fungal disease, cancer, foreign body in the nostril or oral-nasal fistula. I recommend to call your veterinarian today. They may want to see Sam sooner. I hope he starts feeling better quickly!

Thank you for submitting your question Biscuit. I recommend that you contact her veterinarian to ask if it is possible that she acquired an upper respiratory tract infection while boarding. This is fairly common. She will likely need a different antibiotic to treat it if this the case. I hope this information helps!
