Thats a  good question..anyone out there know?




Cornell University is saying IV support (ringers lactate) with Cephalaxin  
for the secondary and very quick acting pnuemonia that seems to be the major  
problem. Ordinarily you would never treat a virus with an antibiotic, but  the 
influenza in, and of itself, is not the problem, it is the  PNUEMONIA that is a 
side affect that is so bad.  Many times they are saying  by the time you 
catch the cough, or notice the depression the dog is loaded with  pnuemonia.  
Tamiflu may also be effective in anecdotal uses, it is however, a  human 
drug, not approved for dogs, but some vets that I know have used it with  good 
success.
