The cough: Im pretty sure that it is allergies. She will cough 3 or 4 times a day when the weather is wet cold/hot,kinda like asthma. Her heart is still very strong. What brought the cough on was KC. About 2 yrs ago,she was one week away from needing her KC shot,she came down with a resperatory infection with all of the symptoms of KC,however she doesnt go ANYWHERE except my backyard and the vet. There were 5 other dogs in the house at the time,including an elderly dog. I kept her on a seperate floor of the house for 3 weeks in a pen. We did 3 round of antibiotics before the coughing slowed down to just 4 or 5 spells a day. She just never got over it. No pneumonia,lungs stayed clear,noone else got it. She has only had one or two spells a day sense I cut the TP dose in half. The spells are coughing 5 or 6 times,gagging and then acting like she is going to throw up. Then it just stops. We have already ruled out CT. Kinda weird..... |
