I'm sorry to hear about Chukka's problems. Sounds like the vet gave him quite a bit of medication. I am assuming that he also sent home some oral medication for you to continue administering for the upcoming days. Medications often take time to have a positive effect, so I would not assume they aren't working just yet. Unless matters are getting progressively worse, i would give the drugs some time to work before assuming the worst. If matters are looking worse, then you may want to consider returning to your vet for some diagnostic testing instead of just symptomatic treatment. This might include imaging modalities like x-ray and ultrasound, and some laboratory blood work to look at vital organ function. Hope this helps.
