This has been quite a month. FatCat, my beautiful calico gave up the fight a little over a week ago. We buried her out front with two of her 'roomies'.
Saturday night Katie started coughing and hacking. By yesterday she'd added gagging. She's had all her shots, including her Bordatella. Last night she'd wake me with her coughing and I'd wake me when she wasn't coughing (I had to get up to make sure she was breathing). We'd passed on Christmas Caroling at the nursing home last night, thankfully!
Did you know dogs can get bronchitis? Me either! She's now resting peacefully and I'm looking forward to doing the same tonight. After a check up, a pair of x-rays to rule out kennel cough, breathing passage blockage, and/or who knows what else, it was determined that she has bronchitis. She's now on an antibiotic regimen and cough suppressants. Looks like her stocking will be slim pickin's this year. But she'll be fine and that will make my Christmas merry & bright!!!!
Oh, my deepest sympathy on the passing of your kittie! Another angel for you in heaven.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Ms. Katie is getting better. I *was* glad to see the sunshine, until it disappeared about 10 minutes ago. Am just about to head for Fresno to stock up on some supplies while there isn't water falling from the skies.
ReplyDeleteI lucked out on jury duty this morning. Hooray!!!
Happy holidays to you and the family. Love to you all.
