You can try immune boosters like DMG liquid from 1800petmeds. Also from local health food store vitamin C in form of ester C at dose of 250 mg twice daily as well as pediatric echinacea and goldenseal. Use infant dose. Also consider transfer factor as supplement from www.tfpets.com Putting her in steamy bathroom a few times daily for 10 minutes at a time can help loosen up secretions. Good luck. Not easy situation.

If allergies antihistamines and/or low dose cortisone can be helpful. IF infections, antibiotics needed. If due to airway anatomic issue, than meds to dilate airways like theophylline can help., Vet check is needed to sort these out. First should have a diagnosis of why wheezing.

She is a year old and has had all her shots and spade;bloodwork was also performed and all came back negative. Any ideas on what the cause is and also what I might do to help her through the night???
