Kennel Cough

I caught my first cold last week just in time for a visit from Aunt Tea and Ed. It made me sick and hurt a lot to cough like that. Eli took me to a new and really nice veterinarian who listened to my lungs, checked out my teeth and throat and ended the visit with a cookie.

I was on antibiotics that were really yummy. I was also given codiene that tasted icky enough that even slices of cheese didn't hide the flavor and I would spit them out. Eli had to hold my nose and mouth shut to make me swallow them. I didn't like that very much.

According to the vet, I caught this cold from my new friends at Cage Free K-9 camp. This was a huge bummer as I really would like to go run around all day with my friends.

As of today I am healthy and happy and back to normal. No more coughing.
