has anyone else ever had a hound have pneumonia? My 10yr old male walker is in the vets now with it...just wonderin if anyone else had been through it? what should I expect if he does make it? (other than a high dr bill)

It depends how bad he's got it. There could be damage to his lungs, he could be susceptible to respiratory infections, asthma, or he could make a full recovery as if it never happened.

well he is now home, got home last night, dr said to keep him in the house till at least spring...the wife and girls are loving it, lol... he is just laying on his pillow with a heat lamp on and a heating pad under him...doc thinks he should be back to himself just have to keep him out of the cold. so he goes out side to pee then runs back to the house, lol... he is getting all kinds of spoiled... I made him biskets and gravy for breakfast...

That's good to hear. Being in the house should not hurt his hunting ability any.

dont think it will... when I take him out for a leak he thinks he has to look for a coon as well, LOL... so his spirits are up good!. we just had a snow so when it thaws I will set a live trap to catch a coon for him to bark at and keep him knowing that he will still get to go when he builds his mussles back up...

well took the old guy out last night, he did great! he ran almost 500 yrds and treed 2 coon! but he was wore out, lol... he is getting much better since being in the house, has gained 14 lbs...
