RipplingWaves: A gentle suggestion - read the WHOLE thread before writing an answer. Just before you wrote, Sasha's owner wrote this:
Thankfully I have Sasha vaccinated for Kennel Cough. The vet says that she has a sore throat and old lungs. The sore throat is likely from it being so dry and dusty here and the fact that she's 14. He gave us a cough suppressant. She should be fine. Thank goodness.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments.
You were answering the FIRST post, before Sasha had seen the vet. It's just that it makes it seem like it's STILL an emergency, which it isn't now.
