[Dailydrool] Kennel cough

[Becky Sickles]

Dear Friends,

Our sweet, darling Mutley has kennel cough.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  He started coughing at 4:00 this morning and I foolishly thought it was allergies because his eyes were pretty goopy, too.  Well, when my husband got home from work today, Mutley was still hacking and coughing.  He runs Mutley into Deer Creek to see Dr. Brod (our favorite) and come to find out that he has kennel cough.  He is on antibiotics for over a week 2X/day and we are to give him Robitusin DM (1/2 tsp), too.  He's never been sick before, so this is new territory for Bob and I.  

We're not sure how he got it.  Apparently it has a 5 day incubation period and we did take him for a walk last Thursday.  He could have caught it then when we were talking to the other doggie owners on our walk.  Weird, huh?

Send lots of drool our way (Mutley is hacking lots up right now).  We need it.
