Harry is feeling better


Seems like the antibiotics are helping Harry a lot. He has lots more energy today and is hardly coughing. Sure am hoping its not heartworms but just a bad case of kennel cough. I feel encouraged since he is responding to the meds so well. We went for a long walk this morning and he did great. Played catch, and now he just wants to be lazy !

My daughter took in a stray that had heart worms. The treatment is not pleasant for the animal, and is quite expensive, but her dog has done very well and is a great dog.

I hope Harry doesn't have heart worms!

Hopefully Harry will continue to do well. We have sometimes had our hearts broken--and pocket book stunned in trying to care for pets--but life would be lonely without them.

Hey Patty, did your black dog do okay, or did he find a new home?

He has such a wonderfully expressive face. I'm hoping for his sake and yours that it is just kennel cough.

I notice he's back in the house...his new perfume must have worn off! My mom's dog was sprayed in October. Poor guy, he was heartbroken at spending a night outside! The irony is he was a country dog that didn't meet a skunk until he moved to town!

I am so glad he is feeling better. He is sure a cutie. What an expressive face!!!
Kennel cough is pretty common..hopefully that is all it is..I have adopted dogs that had kennel cough and was able to clear it up pretty quickly.

If he is seeing a Dr (Vet) do what the Dr says. And so glad he is doing better...

IF the dog is already old and had other problems the treatment is extremely hard on them and can kill them. IF it is heartworms and IF you decide not to treat it a baby aspirin (81 mlg) helps them as it thins the blood- but not everyday once or twice a week;

Also if your doggie has joint issues this same aspirin can help with that.

DO NOT EVER give a human aspirin to a Kitty.

Hi Paige,
Yes, he is seeing a vet and we will be having him tested for heartworms when he is feeling a bit more fit
