Tan, I'm glad you got it sorted and got the dreaded ABs. She'll be on the mend now in no time.

I take Angus to the Dr if the snot coming out of his nose isn't clear, i.e. yellow or green. My Dr said that clear snot is usually a viral infection so there's nothing you can do about that (except keep them comfortable) but yellow/green snot usually indicates a secondary bacterial infection that would respond to ABs.

Angus also gets a wicked post nasal drip with the clear snot that gives him a terrible hacking cough (not a dry cough). I use Dimetapp as directed, it dries up the snot and also fixes the post nasal drip that causes the cough. I also use panadol for a temp.

So, I go to the Dr if the snot is not clear, if he doesn't get better within a few days, has a high temp of temp for more than 24 hours, or if I'm worried.
