I’m sorry Dickens isn’t feeling. If he seems to be struggling to breathe at all then he should be seen tonight, otherwise I think an appointment with your regular veterinarian tomorrow is fine. Upper respiratory tract infections are common especially in newly adopted shelters patients. However, I would also have distemper on my list of concerns. Your veterinarian may consider starting him on some antibiotics. In the meantime I would encourage you to take him into the bathroom and run the shower to humidify him every several hours. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
