Breathing Problem After Taking him to groomer
I recently took my Pomeranian dog (Pookie) to a groomer for the first
time to get a lion hair cut. The lady in the counter recommended to give him a flea bath also, so I decided it was a good idea. Well when I received pookie (Pomeranian) He's hair cut looked bad!! But that wasn't my main concern once I got home I notice his breathing, like shortness of breath, snorting, like if he had bronchitis. I also notice that he's been licking or scratching his behind since i brought him back.I waited until the next day to take him to the vet, the vet said "he didnt have any water in his lungs that it might just be an infection in his nose" so he gave me medicine to give Pookie (pom) twice a day. Now my question is has anybody ever had this problem with there dog? What may have cause this breathing problem? How long does it take to cure? Or what do I need to do to cure him? Any response back would help, I would really appreciate it. Pookie just stays under the bed all day =0( THANKS

Sounds to me like the groomer probably used some toxic flea bath on him. If he's still hiding under the bed, I would highly recommend taking him back to a vet, preferably a different vet. Good luck, Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm

Sounds to me like it could be a reaction to the flea bath. I would bath him
at home and not use anything other than plain old water and really rinse him good. Even though it's probably been absorbed into the system by now residual chemicals can still be in the fur so rinse, rinse, rinse. Years ago we had a chi hua hus/terrior mix who acted like this just from wearing a flea collor. She would breath heavy like she was gasping for breath and her eyes would water.

Groomers shops are like kiddie daycare. If one animal has a respiratory infection, then you can be sure it'll be shared.
