Sneeze, sneeze...cough, cough...gag, gag...This has been the soundtrack of our lives for the past few months. If it's not one of the kids, it's one of the adults. Has it been this bad for everyone else? I know that it has hit my son's school hard and we did a wonderful job of passing it around our family members.
Well now, it's the dogs turn. Our poor pup has been hacking up a storm and sneezing. Do dogs get hayfever allergies? Is it possible to pass around a cold from pet to human or visa versa? I'm not sure but you know something is wrong when the vet recognizes your pup by name and says, "Didn't we just see you?" Well yes, it sure does feel like that huh?
My poor dog has had a rough year...losing her brother, getting a tooth pulled, and infections galore. Well today was a double doosy. She has an ear infection, fever, and a bronchial infection. Basically, she has the same thing my boys had around Valentine's day. Ear infection and upper respiratory infection. We have meds, a warm clean bed, and plenty of love and will have her on the mend in no time. Hopefully this horrid virus has run it's course through our home. I'll be keeping a close eye on the cat in the meantime.
HI! You told the story so well that you actually had me both sympathetic & chuckling by the end of the piece. I'm sorry for all the annoying coughs & sniffles & earaches. What a time you have had. I don't know if you can pass the germs back & forth. You might ask the vet! Best wishes. . .
ReplyDeletePoor pup...he has such a woebegone expression. I hope he feels better soon.
