Hi,

From what i know it takes about 4 weeks for full recovery in severe cases.

Your vet will be able to tell you the extent of his illness.

Your puppy should make a full recovery.
keep us posted and if i find anymore information or a website i will send the link to you.

Hi again,

just to update and give you some resurrance
Pneumonia is a bacterial infection of the lungs. Your vet is most likely treating the infection with antibiotics. Pneumonia goes one of 3 ways – it is either completely cured (most likely with treatment), just hangs on (not very often), or progresses to death (rare if treatment is sought).

So I would be confident that your dog will be quickly and completely cured, and there will be no lasting negative side effects at all. That is because you did the right thing and took him for treatment when it was needed.


Hope this has hlped you a little
