Have they done X-rays?
bulldogs can develop pneumonia very quickly from an upper respiratory infection. Is your vet experienced with Bulldogs? There is a listing of bulldog vets on the home page. Hope he gets better, nothing sadder than a sick puppy.
I agree. I posted my response before I read yours!
Said almost the same thing:-) Great minds and all:-)

Hm, I would suggest maybe finding a new vet...
One with Bulldog experience. On the home page of this site is a list of Bulldog knowledgeable vets by state. Maybe you could find one close to you that could give a second opinion.
I personally think it is either Kennel Cough or Pneumonia. It could be a lot of things though, which is why you need a vet who will take x-rays and give a definitive diagnosis instead of just throwing Clavamox at the cough, which may not be the best medication to treat him. Also, have they checked for an elongated palate? You need a good bully vet to help you out on this one.
