Dog Pnemonia

Call your Vet when your dog starts coughing as this could be the first sign of pneumonia. Since dogs don't get colds.
Pneumonia is caused by a bacterial infection and is most common in dogs under one year of age. Pneumonia may require hospitalization. 



Other symptoms:
  • difficulty breathing,
  • coughing with mucus discharge,
  • fever (50% of the dogs),
  • lethargic behavior, 
  • loss of appitite, 
  • refusal to drink
