What are the symptoms of MRSA? I have a 3 yr old german short hair that the vet has not been able to diagnois the problem yet. He is short of breath after playing for a short while. His xrays show that there is lots of inflamation in his lungs. Antibiotics have not helped. He did have an accident last year and went in for surgery. We noticed his shortness of breath a few months after that.
