Dear PT, Me is not feeling well..

[Kfamr]

I was hoping to come home from work and be able to call the vets and cancel. She hadn't coughed/gagged since I made the appointment. She even went swimming yesterday with no problems. However, as soon as I walked in the door she started coughing/gagging. It seems to happen when she gets excited.

I felt so bad last night while I was baking. I gave the other three the egg shells I used but not her, just incase something's going on in there.

Anyhow, our appointment is at 4:30... so we'll know then!

I'm hoping for the best!

KiKi, how are you feeling today? Is the visit to the whitecoats on? Hope you are feeling better and can stay home and enjoy the day.

Well, you're probably at the vet's now, Kiara, so I'm thinking of you!

[Kfamr]

We're back!

The vet said she checks out well and not to be too concerned.... $60 later (we got some more ear cleaner, too.) He said it could have been a URI or a number of things, but most likely a scratched trechea. He said if she doesn't stop coughing or worsens that he will prescribe antibiotics.

My dad said I'm just a worrywart, and I AM! However, if it had been a URI or something else I'd much rather treat her quickly than wait for the other three to get it. The vet agreed.

As far as being scared, yep... she was. A lady had wanted to pet her soooo bad but Kiara wouldn't let her. She said Kiara was beautiful even if she is a bit scared.

Thanks for the good thoughts - hopefully she'll be able to chase tennis balls without having to stop and cough!

Feel better soon Kiki!!
I hope I'll be able to laugh soon without my nasty cough..I know how you feel, Kiara, it's no fun!

[BC_MoM]

Glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious, Kiara! I know how you feel... I have a nasty cough right now too!

[KittyGurl]

I'm so glad the vet visit went well and it wasn't anything really serious. Hope you feel better, Kiara.

I'm glad you don't have anything serious, Kiki. Tell your Mom lots of cookies and hugs will help you feel better! ; D Get well soon.

I don't think you're a worrywart, Kay. Fozzie's eye was a little bit red and goopy recently, and I brought him in right away. It is way better to be safe... and I know how hard it is to see your pups in any pain or discomfort.
