[Dailydrool] I don't know how this happened

[jacquelynn chazey]

On Sat. Jr. was coughing some.  I called the Vet's office, didn't seem like an emergency, and Pierre had an event.  Pierre didn't want to be at the event, so we didn't stay.  He was eating and drinking fine, but I felt that he was warm to the touch.  Sunday, in the middle of the night, Nikki started coughing, and hers was croupy.  I called the Vet first thing Monday am, and Pierre and Nikki went in together.  Nikki a little feverish, Jr. not, both on antibiotics now.  Then Jean Paul, who has a chronic cough, was coughing in extreme, and he went to the Vet, and is on antibiotics now (also a little feverish).  I got him home, went to the post office, and when I got home, Nigel was hacking, and he spit out white foam.  He is on antibiotics, now.  Just a few minutes ago, I heard hacking, and I thought it was one of the original 4, but now Colette was doing her exorcist interpretation, but with white foam, so since Vet is closed, I gave her a dose of Nigel's meds, as they are close in weight.  Nigel and Colette had pneumonia as puppies, so I am extra worried about them.
I think Jr. was the host of this flu.  After so many visits, the conclusion was that it is a HOT flu, and it has a 24 hour incubation.  My guys are on flu shots and kennel cough shots regularly, but this still happened.  Jr. went to both the nursing home and the doggie school on Friday before the cough manifested on Sat.  Lots of sick people at the nursing home, no reports of illness or cough at dog school,  and I have heard from many sources, that canine human transfer of disease is very possible.  I called school to report about Jr's case.  The last thing I wish to do is to cause harm to others.
Healing drool to all in need, and I would appreciate all that can be spared for my guys
