Hi, I'm living in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and there are tons of dogs running wild around the city. My cousins found a three legged (by birth) puppy the other day. We can't take her in, unfortunately, so we built her a little dog house. A few days ago we heard her coughing, and it's a wheezy cough. I suspect it is pneumonia, but I was hoping there is something we can do for her? As far as I know, no one here can take her, and I'm not sure if they have vets here to take her to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First of all it could be kennel cough which sounds like pneumonia but it could have pneumonia and if you have no antibiotics for dogs then the dog will eventually die. It will need care and vet care right away as the dog can die from other diseases too. With out proper care even humans will die as it takes antibiotics to cure this and with out it, he will die. Try to find a vet somewhere, ask around please.
