So the vet phoned twice actually the first time to tell me that they couldn't find anything with the scope and to ask if I wanted her to get the I'm guessing more senior vet (I go to a 24hr emergency clinic that has some of the best vets in the city) to go farther down with the camera.
The second time she phoned to tell me that they couldn't find anything wrong with the camera which means my baby girl didn't swallow or chew on anything that she wasn't supposed to.
The only thing that they could find wrong with her was that her throat was rather inflammed and her tonsils weren't were they were supposed to be, I guess dogs tonsils are in a little pocket of sorts and Winters wasn't in her pocket, but the doctor thinks that it was most likely due to the coughing.
So basiclly at the moment we are treating it as kennel cough, we got both dogs vaccinated a couple of weeks ago and we figure that Winters didn't have enough time to take effect and she somehow managed to catch it, Smudge is fine at the moment (I'm gonna keep an hawk like eye on him for the next little while) so what's happening is we're goning to be getting some antibiotics and something to help with the inflamation in her throat, and then the vets took a swab of her lungs to make sure that there isn't anything growing in there and they are going to let me decide whether or not we should send it to the lab...which I will definitly okay.
Now all I have to do is wait the 50 minutes or so till we go and get her from the vet (the appointments at 5 to pick her but we live like ten blocks away) and then I'll be happy and Smudge will be happy, and I think Winter will be happy groggy but happy.
Thanks for your thoughts gang I'll keep you updated.
