not.My heating has been bust for these two days and that could be a


reason.I don't
know if the warm air in the house and the cold air outside makes a
difference.
Hopefully tomorrow I will see the vet.


Hope your heating and your dog are both better soon!
I can't imagine being without heat for a couple days at these temperatures. I
hope it's warmer there than it is here!


Let us know how he does. *I recently had to put my mini poodle to
sleep (16.5 yrs old). He had a collapsing trachea.. he could take in
air, but had problems exhaling. I treated it as long as he had some
good days, but they just kept getting worse with the senility and
blindness. *14 yrs for a lg breed dog is great! you must be doing
something right


Hi Tracey, sorry about your dog, I know when they get old they seem to
fall
apart.My guys vets file is the size of a book! I had a cat that
reached 16.5 and
he had no vet file! (Very healthy).The dog is a Wicklow Collie and
about medium size.

I am kind of ok for heat...2 oil filled radiators & a fire in another
room.
Now I'm gonna google about Manuka & dogs.The cough has been a bit
better...no long fits of coughing.It may be working.
I live on the West coast of ireland BTW and its around 2 degrees.

The vets were not open today and I need to get Paracodin tomorrow
to help him along.

Cheers!
