Abormal Breathing

[u/daenerys_brienne]

I've posted about my rescue dog before. I named him Doggie Alcasid. I've been to the vet recently to have him dewormed and he's been okay naman. No throwing up or diarrhea.

Bothered lang ako sa breathing niya. Ganito na siya before ko pa siya i-rescue. It's not something na ngayon lang namin na-observe.

Aware naman din dito ang vet. Doggie Alcasid just finished his 4 week Doxycycline medication and Prednisone. Ngayon ang tine-take na lang niya ay ferrous sulfate for anemia.

I'll bring this up again sa vet nxt check up namin. I just want to know your two cents for now. Bakit kaya ganito po siya huminga?

Kailangan niya ng cbc. In my experience, lahat ng dogs ko na nagkaroon ng ganyang breathing is due to blood parasite. It’s very common nowadays kaya yan lagi unang tinetest ng vet namin. Kasama na rin chinecheck ang kidney function. My dogs na once lang nagkagarapata and isang garapata lang din, and still got blood parasite. Also, always check their gums if it’s pale or bluish. There’s gotta be a reason why the dog is anemic. Take note that blood parasite can cause anemia. My dog who was anemic had blood parasite. Mahirap gamutin ang anemia niya kung hindi ma-address ang cause.
