What is wrong with my dog, Rocky ?
Rocky is a dumped chihuahua that we found in a field across from our house two weeks ago. We know really nothing about him but we couldn't allow a little 6 1/2 pound dog run wild in our subdivison. It's amazing he wasn't hit by a car and it took us 5 days to trap him in a cat trap. Little guy was so scared but he loves us all now.

Took him to the vet a week ago. Got an prescription of augumentin that he is taking twice a day. In fact, we just gave him his last dose today but we are going to need more. This video was taken of him yesterday in our backyard. (pretend that the grass is cut) It's in real time and this is how fast he falls down. Vet said he had pneumonia, saw his chest x-ray so looks possible. However after a full week on antibotics should he be just a bit better then this. Anyone have an ideas?

Last thing, doggies are barking at the dog behind the fence. It's a game they play.

3. I'm guessing he can't stand Rick Springfield
Seriously, not being a vet, I can't pretend to know.

But I can tell you that a friend of mine had a dog who was allergic to grass. His symptoms were dermal; but human allergic reaction to grass can affect their lungs. If your dog is allergic to grass, and he's continually exposed to it, maybe his immune system is weakened, making it difficult for the antibiotic to do its job.
