Dog Pneumonia

[Stixs]

Heard on news today there is pneumonia going around. There were actually 4 dogs that died from this is southern CA. The bad thing is they were all at the same vet I take my dogs too. Of course vet did not tell me that, heard it on news.

Will post pic soon have a new bull mastiff pup - "BEAR" 7 months old weighed in at vet this week, 101lbs.

Keep an eye out on your pups.

Yeah this topic seems odd. Does he not read other threads?

[Bouncer]

i dont think he ment anything by this post guys. if he did, may all the pain in the world fall upon him...

I was just stating that the same thing happened to your dog. Very possible this epidemic is much more than just southern cali. And why just bull mastiffs? Very odd.

i didnt have a bull mastiff. she was a french mastiff.

This is the definition of irony, Stix did you post this because you knew what happened or was it just coincidence?

i didnt have a bull mastiff. she was a french mastiff.

Whoops. Too much coffee. At least I got the mastiff part right. LOL.

I did read Bouncers thread, this was not meant to be anything more than to let people know that there is something going around. It is not mastiffs in general. I took my pup to the vet earlier this week. Then today I see on the news in L.A. there is something going around and the vet that i took my dog to had 4 dogs die there from this illness. There was no mention to me of this when I took my dog in, if there was I would have probably not taken him there.

I have 3 dogs and would not make a stupid comment about someones pup passing away. I also have 3 kids who would be devastated if something happend to their pets. We have 3 dogs, 2 rats and many fish.

***Yes, there is something going around, i heard that it really effects the young pups and the older dogs.... My wife told me about it after i told her about Bouncer's pup.... Come on guys chill out a little, no one here tried to offend Bouncer or his situation, at ease...

that shit got me worried now cause i got 3 german shepards, which 2 look sick. The oldest female is 12yrs and the guy is about 7, which both all of a sudden havent been eating.

Did a little search on the net to read about that dog flu, came across this. Its not that recent about a week old.

About 2 months ago my friend's great dane came down with it too. For the first 2 weeks they didn't know what it was but he'd been on antibiotics for a week and seemed better, then a week later he was near death. They got him on IV antibiotics and found it was phneumonia and continued treatment for another week or so...then oral anti-b's for a month following. He's fine now but it was touch and go for a while. Keep an eye on your dogs...being informed is your best defense.
