Only a Matter of Time

Mom took Mackie to the vet yesterday.  He was sneezing and had runny eyes and a wet nose and he felt warmer to the touch than usual.   She didn't shove the thermometer up his hiney, but the vet did.   He was doing that reverse sneeze-type noise and he has respiratory issues.  Mom listened to his breathing Thursday night and didn't like what she was hearing.     He was diagnosed with kennel cough, which dad says he definitely got at the animal hospital when he was neutered.   Yes, he got the up-the-nose vaccine but it obviously didn't work for this strain of kennel cough.   So Mackie is taking Doxy and Benedryl and taking it easy.
Poor Mackie sounds like a little boy with a very bad cold.   
Mom says it's probably only a matter of time before I start coming down with the same symptoms.   I sure hope not.
Love ya lots♥
Molly

    Stay Well! You can help your mom take care of your brudder. Just pin your cap on tight and start making that chicken soup

    Wishing Mackie a speedy recovery.
    Our vet doesn't like to give kennel cough protection as he says it doesn't usually work. But he does as most dog places require it.

    Oh know Mackie how dreadful for you, we hope you feel better soon. I can honestly say none of our Airedales have ever had this but I think it is by luck than anything else. We hope you don't come down with it too Molly. Stay well and hope you feel better soon. Lots of Hugs and sending Good Aire Thoughts for you, Susie & Treacle xx

    Unfortunately you probably will get it Mollie. Many years ago the one and only time mom and dad have boarded pugs - it seemed to go Ok till the oldest came down with kennel cough and then the other three.
    A couple of years ago someone brought their dog to class that had been exposed at doggie day care. Hazel was at class and sure enough she started coughing and then Bailey. Hope Mackie gets better quickly and you don't get it!
    hugs
    Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel

    Well, that's a real bummer. And then Jett was probably just there too and his turn will be next. Maybe you won't get it, Molly, at least we hope not.

    We feel sorry for Mackie. We always have the Kennel Cough prevention with our annual injections. Actually, it is required if we go into the kennel, but SHE would do it anyway. Hope he is better soon.

    Crikey Mollie ..... that's no good!! Poor little bloke. Hope he gets better real soon and I sure hope you don't catch it. Tell your Mom ice-cream is good for kennel cough. Ice-cream is good for everything, aye?? I'm sure a little bit would make Mackie feel better.

    Oh NO! Mackie...we know what this is like...Chloe had it last summer and sometimes it sounded SO BAD!! Mama was very worried but the antibiotics helped and she also had cough tablets. It took a long time, but finally she got over it. She got it at the vet's office too!! Sure hope you BOTH are feeling better...sending POTP!!
