I didn't post this thread for recognition but rather to give others an insight & hope that respiratory infections can be overcomed with patience, persistence, and of course a vet visit.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and for checking out this post.
my bp has had an RI for a month now and i have been giving her fortaz injections and she still isnt better. going back to the vet thursday to see what to do now . glad to hear he is doing better.
