As she got older, Ashley had collapsing trachea, but this was the only time that I was really frightened from it. I hope Max gets better soon, It breaks my heart when they are sick. |
Poor Ashley. What a terrible time for her regular doctor to be away.
Max has not been coughing, just swallowing hard. Tonight he had a crazy sneezing fit, only 3 sneezes, but they seemed quite violent. He shook his head really hard and startled me. We'll see how he is doing in the morning and decide if we need to bring him to our regular vet.
