No I'm not a vet. I am an RN. Antibiotic therapy is the standard treatment for pneumonia. Nebs treat symptoms only, like shortness of breath, and can actually introduce MORE bacteria in the lungs if not administered properly.
are you stating this is bacterial pnuemonia as opposed to virule? Antibiotics for virule pnuemonia?
re nebs: treating the symptoms is the treatment for virule pnuemonia, isn't it?
How do you know the nebs were improperly administered?
As for the ? of any guarantee/warrantee? I've been trying to answer that but I'm not as adept at posting in the forums
This has nothing to do with the forums. It is a question posed to you. What, if any, guarantee/warrantee did the seller give to you. It is a question only you can answer.
Yes, there was a standard guarantee that states seller is not responsible for any illness except for congenital birth defects/conditions or serious life threatening illnesses (such as PNEUMONIA,agree?).
And here seems to be somewhat of an answer to that very question.
So now, what remedy does the guarantee offer in case of a serious illness?
She refused to do anything but take the dog back, as I oringinally stated
.
If this is an option within the guarantee and you refused to accept it, you then take on the responsibility of the vet bills.
It's just common sense here..When I brought my puppy home, the breeder told me she was treating him with nebs for a little "cold and runny nose." I BELIEVED her and took him home. He seemed fine until a few days later, he became very sick, coughing/gagging. I took him to the vet, Xrays showed extensive pneumonia, we thought he might die!!!!! I nursed him thru this (meds, rest, humidifiers, etc).
. The breeder did offer to take the dog back (over my dead body
). This dog loves me for saving his life, just as I love him for saving mine (dramatizing a little here
