Re: My dogs sick
Hi ya, welcome to the forum from Flo & me
Well done on the rescue. Did the vet say what the problem was ?
If you are really worried by the tiredness then contact your vet, however, if you think it might just be the meds then you could wait 24hrs and see how he is, just keep a close eye on him.
Is he eating and more importantly, drinking ok ? These are key indicators of not being well too.
I've move your post to the health area where it will get more views.

His nose is also runny like a person being sick I think he got kennel cough but meds they put him on is 100mg doxycycline two tablets a day I'm just really worried about him he's already became my world he picked me and I don't want to lose him

Re: My dogs sick
I can tell you're worried so a call to the vets will do no harm and will put you at ease if nothing else.
The meds are a broad based antibiotic and are used for humans as well. If the vets say this is normal then just make sure he knows your there and give him some comfort.

Re: My dogs sick
his sleeping a lot could be cos he is nice and relaxed with you rather than being stuck in the rescue centre which was probably really stressful for him,let the meds kick in and if you are worried definitely call your vet
