  • 2wks ago we adopted a puppy from the pound who has been diagnosed with kennel cough she had already been spayed a couple days before we got her and she is only just now 3mo old. We took her the very next day after adopting her to the vet (where she was diagnosed) he told us it would get worse before it got better and that has happend. She wont eat and barely drinks Ive been forcing nutrient-filled puppy replacer with an eyedropper just to give her some kind of nutrition. She is on antibiotics but Im worried with her listlessness and lack of appitite since she is basically a skeleton. In your info on kennel cough it says if shes listless, not eating etc it could be a sign of a more serious problem but it doesnt say what that might be and Ive never dealt with kennel cough before in such a young pup whos had such a horrible start in life so please any help would be appreciated.
