My dogs
The story
I don't know why I wanted two dog, put I got two dogs month apart. At first things were going perfectly. My family loved these new puppies.
But all went wrong when they first got canine Parvovirus. That few week was very hard for me, I was scared and blamed myself for being too selfish and spoiled. I could've just gotten one dog and take care of him, but I didn't end ended up making two innocent soul almost died.
But surprisingly they gone through this dangerous disease fine. They were healthy and perfect. But the pet hospital didn't vaccined them because they were coughing. And that's when things went really really downfall. They canine influenza month after getting healthy. Doctors said put them into sleep because there is no medical for this disease.
I'm writing this because I really don't know what to do. I want to give up, and put them in peace. But I can't because of my own selfishness. I love my two dog... I just want that first month when I had them first. And please if you been through this fucking disease is there any way of treating it. Or at least making the pain go away so I can be with my dogs little longer?

Points of view
hey,
it's tough reading your story and I kinda get where you're coming from but.... I think maybe getting two unvaccinated puppies wasn't the best move :( canine influenza is serious and needs professional help, maybe consider some antiviral meds or supportive care; always check with vet experts on this stuff, they've got the know-how, you know??
And see a second vet to have another point of view if needed...
hope things work out for you and your dogs!!!
I am not an expert at all but I asked ChatGPT... here is the response:
Yes, canine influenza (also known as dog flu) can be treated. While there is no specific cure for canine influenza, treatment generally focuses on managing the symptoms and supporting the dog’s recovery. Here are some common treatment approaches:
Supportive Care: This may include ensuring the dog stays hydrated and comfortable. Some dogs may need to be kept in a quiet, warm environment to help with recovery.
Medications:
Antibiotics: These may be prescribed if a secondary bacterial infection develops, as canine influenza can sometimes lead to bacterial pneumonia.
Cough suppressants: These can help reduce the severity of coughing.
Anti-inflammatory drugs: To help reduce fever or inflammation.
Antiviral drugs: In certain cases, your vet may recommend antiviral medications, although these are not always required for uncomplicated cases.
Hospitalization: In severe cases, especially if the dog develops pneumonia or has difficulty breathing, hospitalization may be necessary for more intensive care, including oxygen therapy.
It's essential to consult with a veterinarian if your dog shows symptoms of canine influenza, such as coughing, nasal discharge, fever, and lethargy. Early intervention can help reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, vaccination is available to help prevent certain strains of canine influenza, so it’s a good idea to ask your vet if vaccination is appropriate for your dog.
I also think it could be ok for your dogs! How are they now? Any news?
it's unfortunate to hear about your pups and their health issues :(
