Poor baby

My baby is sick, REALLY sick. I've never knew a dog could get sick. I'm learning as a furry baby parent. He was starting to show signs on Thursday but by Sunday night it was B-A-D! He couldn't breathe and would begin to hyperventilate. We could calm him down and he would wheez. We read online that with doggie colds sitting in a steamy room can clear up the nasal passage. It was worth a shot. Here I am at 10pm Sunday night holding a snot-nosed dog, rocking him, in the bathroom with the shower running hot water. It did seem to be good bonding time but there weren't any signs he was getting better. We put him in bed with us and he wheezed all night long but no more "asthma-attack" like fits. We took him into the vet on Monday and they put him on antibiotics for a sinus infection. He hadn't eaten anything since Sat until just a few min ago (around 6pm) when he took a few bites of canned food. I'm still praying that this goes away supernaturally soon. I have one mopey puppy!

Just focus on breathing!
