Poor guy! Hope he feels better soon!

Well, I wish I would have gone to the vet with him. Bruce said they didn't really say if it was kennel cough or not. But they gave him antibiotics.
When they got to the vet they (Bruce and the vet tech) noticed Taggart had a bloody nose in one nostril. The doctor said it could be a foxtail (which I don't think it is) or from his sneezing.
Bruce didn't really like the vet. He said she was just very "dry". She wanted to do a stool sample and all these other things. I'm calling that vet and our regular vet to see the price difference. And it's a $6 difference. I think for $6 I'd rather take it to our regular vet since we like them. LOL I'll discuss with Bruce tonight.
But anyway, that's the update. So now I just wait and hope Zoee doesn't come down with a cough.

When Jasper had kennel cough I gave him vitamin C and echinacea tea...the vet I worked fore didn't give antibiotics (its a viral infection) unless the pup was so sick she was worried about a secondary bacterial infection.

Here's hoping for a quick recovery! (and Zoee not getting it!)

I really hope he feels better soon - poor Taggart! And of course that Zoee doesn't get it too.
