Me prayed for her, gave her antibiotics and lasix until her lungs cleared all up. Her lungs sound perfect but she sneezes all the time. This is a first for me (after over 100 babies rehabbed), so I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had one do this. Thanks for any info you have.
I wonder if she has an Upper respiratory infection. If the sneezing does not clear you could do a round of doxycycline or clavamox.
