Head Cold
« on: December 06, 2004, 10:47:35 AM »
Billy is never ill, but for the past day or so he has had a gunky eye and a blocked nostril, up until today he has been eating normally and enjoying his walks but this morning he didn't want his breakfast, he has also been sneezing? Can dogs get a head cold is there anything I can do to make him more comfortable or should I take him the vets?

He is cuddled up on our bed at the moment with duvet over him :rolleyes: I have been cleaning his eye with tepid water and cold tea?? I am sure I read that somewhere??

they can get things stuck up their nose!! So a trip to the vet may be worth while to rule an infection out!

Oh, poor Billy  :(  

One of my cats used to get 'colds' - sounds odd but every now and again his nose would just go bright red, eyes started running and he used to do big snotty sneezes all the time.  I used to have to take him to the vet for one of those magic 'cure all' injections :rolleyes:

Hope Billy's feeling much better soon.

Love and Cocker Kisses,

Well after nearly 2 weeks of antibiotics Billy's eye still hadn't cleared so he went back to the vets yesterday where the vet diagnosed "Dry eye" I know there is a longer name for this but can't remember it :blink: apparently his eye is no longer producing enough fluid to keep his eye clear so he will have to drops for the rest of his life :( poor little boy is already sick of the sight of the drop bottle.

Awww poor Billy! I'm sure he'll get used to the drops eventually but I don't blame him - I hate putting drops in my eye :unsure:
