yuck, yuck double yuck!


our dog has been kind of quiet the last few days, which is really unlike him (he's a jack russell) anyways, Friday he started coughing. It was a weird sound. It got worse over the weekend, so we took him to the vet. It was funny because the vet asked what the cough sounded like, and all I could think of saying was that it was a "barking cough" LOL. Anyway, he has kennel cough, which is like the cold for humans. He was in a kennel last weekend for Jett's party, so he probably picked up a bug there. The vet said to give him cough medicine. Yah right...good luck with that one lol.


To make matters worse, he's coughing up these really gross lung-butter phlem loogies everywhere. I've already stepped in one. Soooo gross!

Shouldnt your dog have gotten the shot for kennel cough?
I know my vet was going to give our dog one if we planned on putting her in a keneel.
Hope he is better soon.

you know Mel, we used to always give him the kennel cough shot, but we havnt the last couple years. He goes to the kennel quite often, and never had a problem even without the shot. I guess we'll be giving him that shot from now on, this is too gross to deal with lol!
