Taggart has kennel cough

[lute]

Poor guy. I ope he's all healthy soon!

Chloe and Beanie both got Kennel cough earlier this year. They got it from Zoom, my Aussie rescue. He brought it from the kennel. Gracie and Talon never got it. I didn't think Chloe was ever going to get over it. After that all my dogs are being vaccinated every other year.( I'm very against over vaccinating.)

Daphne also had kennel cough when we first got her. She was from the same shelter as Zoom. I didn't take Daphne to the vet for her kennel cough. All I did was give her homey to sooth her throught and she was over it in half the time Chloe was when she was taking antibiotics. I'm not telling you to not take him to the vet. The blood worries me and I think your regular vet needs to check him out.

Sophie, I took him to the vet that works with ARF, it's called VCA Monte Vista Animal Hospital. My regular vet is Adobe Animal Hospital. We actually used to go to Ygnacio when I first moved here. But it's way across town and is very expensive. A couple of our neighbors used Adobe so I went there. They are cheaper, right around the corner from my house and all the staff is very nice. One of the receptionists recognizes my voice when I call. LOL Sometimes (actually only once with Taz's recent issue) I don't like my vets attitude, but I know she cares about the animals.

We're pretty sure it's not a foxtail. He'd be sneezing and fussing with his nose more. I don't think he's even sneezed since I've been home tonight. He did have a little coughing fit earlier, but he's quiet now.

Lute, well I hope my Zoee is as lucky as your darling Gracie and Talon were.

Haha, they are expensive. Like I said, I don't know whether it was because I was paying the big bucks or what, but they definitely left a very positive, lasting impression

VCA's are good. I use them for stuff like dentals and fecals. For vac's and microchips and heartworm, etc., I use VIP low-cost vaccination clinics. I know they have a lot out in Concord/Walnut Creek. Bordetella is $12, but I don't know if Zoee would need a booster after only 2 years. Again, hope Taggart feels better!! I need to meet this guy!!
