Thanks John - I started the Robitussin right after your 1st suggestion, and her coughing has reduced significantly. The vet gave me some prescription stuff yesterday, as well.
Fingers crossed, but Leela is feeling a lot better today, and I am a little more relieved.

oh, that is really good news that she responded some to JUST the robitussin. that means her lungs are not so so bad. so now addressing the cause will hopefully result in a clean recovery - certainly sounds promising.

YAYYYY, Leela! So glad to hear the positive update! With you taking such good care of her I'm sure she'll bounce back in record time.

Continued well wishes for Leela's health. Often an accurate diagnosis is 90% of the battle. She's a beautiful girl, and here's hoping we get to see more pics of her really soon with a little more weight and confidence, plus a big, happy smile to match Radar's!

Hopefully, this is my last update on Leela's health as long as she continues to improve...
Already, a switch has gone off somewhere, and she's become real active. Her appetite has become voracious, and there's almost no coughing anymore - just a little discharge from her nose.
She started chasing Radar during fetch sessions - I can't wait until she's 100% to see the competition for the ball.
She's also starting to show that she's as headstrong as Radar, and in need of training the basics which will start immediately. She is house-trained, but has no command training - she won't sit, stay or down...yet.
Here's some more pictures of my babies...
Leela helping mom pick avocados
Radar hamming it up
Leela not too sure what to think about Radar
Just a good picture of Radar
Can I please get on your lap mommy?
Pretty soon, Leela will be competing for that ball

Poor girl, hope she makes a quick and full recovery. MDAS is constantly overwhelmed with neglected dogs in conditions like this, and is so under-funded... it is pretty disturbing to me. Thanks for adopting, she is beautiful
