Hi Animal Experts! I have a twelve pound yorkie who is my complete baby! He was boarded for the first time and now that he is home, he seems to have lost his voice. His bark is raspy and he is very tired! We have been resting and drinking lots of water. He is not exhibiting other symptoms (eating normal, no temperature, clear eyes). How long should this "laryngitis" last? When should I worry that something else is up? (well worry more thank this mama is already worried). Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi animal lover,,,, I am so sorry that your baby came home with laryngitis. It is not uncommon for that to happen and it usually clears itself up within a few days however just like in people coughing can lead to irritated throat which can lead to more coughing, more irritation. It can be a vicious cycle. If his voice is not improving at all by three to four days then I would take him in and get some cough syrup and proberly an antibiotic. Even though he may have had his kennel cough vaccine it doesn't mean he didn't get a mild version of it and it is a virus and will have to run its course.
ReplyDeleteAs long as he is "normal" in his eating and behavior and its just his voice that is off I would give him some time, but if he starts to lick his mouth alot or seems painful to swallow then by all means have him checked out.
Have a great day !!!
