Talk about a cold case.

guess I'll take my lazy ass to bed. I never go to the market hungry. I buy EVERYTHING......

I got lazy

SHUT UP! I'm hungry

Hi sushi, well I got him from the SPCA and paid dearly for him,(nueter, microchip, shots) but the vet costs are killing me, so I have to keep up with the antibiotics and watch over them. Thye refuse to give him his 2nd set of shots till he is well.

They are rough housing and playing, then nap time and then they are at it again, so I don't think this is bothering him that much right now. He was just hacking so hard that he upchucked. He only did it twice and so far he has done great. Just would like to get rid of thier coughs. Thank you for the advise.

Im still playing it safe and giving them chicken and rice though.

Have a wonderful day marie. You deserve some time off.

Amber, you still got that froze smile on your face?

Roy, as usual you confound me but inform me all at the same time, hahaha

Joe welcome to the thread.

Madam, hope you are well today

If I missed anyone, sorry, huggers to you all

Daddy always said, "You kill it, you eat it." In other words, as long as you are hunting to eat it, be my guest. Trophy hunting isn't allowed in our family.

Love fishin, only hunted squirrls.....so I guess as long as someone is going to eat it, let the hooks dig in and the bullets fly. (I wasn't the one eating the squirrls, blah!)

Raises paws and says..." I don't give a rats ass."

Can I say yes and no? How about a maybe? Or a Maybe later?

Joy....I will have to look that one up.

Yeah, I checked out the pic...... have ithere and if it aint real, I want to get to know the person who created the pic.

Kennel cough causes a variety of symptoms that can vary in severity.


Signs of upper respiratory problems such as conjunctivitis (irritated eyes), rhinitis (runny nose) or sneezing may be observed.


Cough. The classic symptoms are bouts of a loud, honking cough that worsen with activity or excitement and can persist for minutes. The dog will often act as if something is stuck in the throat and retch or vomit up fluid after coughing. If secondary bacterial pneumonia develops, the dog often shows signs of illness such as loss of appetite, depression, or fever.

These are exactly his symptoms......thank you Karma for the link. I feel much better now. At least he has something curable. I think my other dog has pnumonia, cuz when I gave her antibiotics the cough went away. Apparently this can develope into that, so that would explain a lot of her sysmptoms as well.

The vet was wrong about him being able to fight this off by now. They say it can take up to weeks to get this taken care of, so I will keep an eye on him and her and gie them some baby food mixed in with a bit of rice twice a day.

Thank you everyone for you help and advice!

Thank you all for caring and for your suggestions. So far since I pulled up the food, he has been ok. Thanks for the link. It helped and I will give him some rice in broth tonight as long as he isnt throwing up.

Be afraid, be very afraid

Thank you. I've got him under watch right now. Pulled up all the food and tried him on some chicken babyfood. So far it has stayed down.

I got just one word for ya. Chantix......ask your Dr about it. Ive been smoke free from the beginning of this month with very little withdrawl and no side efffects except maybe the occasional upset tummy. Couple of crackers when you take it will cure that.

It is expensive so hope you have insurance to cover it, or the money to pay for it. I swear by this stuff! It is working for several members of my family and my stop smoking buddie as well and he smoked 2 1/2 packs a day.
Good luck And GOOD FOR YOU FOR STOPPING

Oh how happy this makes me! You so deserve the happiness! Karen

Thankd guys, I like the mylanta idea. I have pulled up all the food in the house, and will feed him on a sched, and see when things happen. I will try to mylanta. He likes sweet things. Hope they make it without artificial sweeteners. The vets office wont tell me anything over the phone. The only one open today is the emergency and they want $70 just to walk in the door. I cant afford that for them just to tell mether is nothing they can do. Thanks for the help! The baby food thing is an idea too since he loves sweets. They make a mean meat slurry too lol.

Thanks Kirk, they already sleep with me and holding and soothing them is a daily thing. They sooth me as much as I sooth them.

My new puppy is throwing up and may have distemper. I know that there is nothing they can do for him, that it is up to his immune system to fight it off, but he just started throwing up today. Hi stools are fine, but he coughs. They thought at first it was kennel cough, but it never got better.

Does anyone know of a home remedy to make his tummy settle down. I know he is going to puke anyway, but I want to make him feel better in some way......
