Bad cough!!
by Mammatc Thu May 02 2013, 18:52
Hi all
Had a bit of a scare today with Spud ((he is 10 months now)!! Anyway this morning he was having terrible trouble breathing & has a bad cough! After x-ray ruled out lung worm & anything else sinister he got an antibiotic shot to kick start bug busting! Pills for next few days back to vet in morning for a check up but he is picking up as days gone on but oh I was beside myself with worry!! I had forgot to renew his Pdsa voucher (it ran out on MONDAY!!!) lesson learnt & paperwork done bank account lighter but I got my boy and that's what's important
Don't actually know how he got sick in first place!
Worry worry!

Aww, poor boy!
Did the vet think it might be kennel cough?

Thanks everyone!
Vets happy that Spuds on the mend, I can see massive difference in just 24 hrs on the antibiotic. He is back to his cheeky self just a little tickly cough when he gets excited. Back to barking at me for his biscuit, the pills are meant to be meaty flavoured ha! We wrapped one in Italian ham and dog ate ham gave us back the pill. So pill gets covered in his peanut butter he can't resist that
Spud be back out his hikes with us very soon.
