Just a word of warning for any with a compromised immune system as I have.
I went to the doctor yesterday and they did a sputum test......the doctor was
amazed, it was filled with dirt. He explained that anytime you put foreign
bodies (dust/dirt) into your lungs at that amount, you open yourself up for
bacterial infection, which I have.
If you can take antibiotics, take them. If not which is my problem, take
mega doses of Vitamin C, echinacea (up to 6 caps daily) eat a pile of fruit or
try Juice Plus (great stuff, double the dose) and take grapeseed. It boosts
the immune system.
Plenty of fluids etc etc. Can't advise bed rest, us dog people have to
keep going.
Also, my male started coughing yesterday. Think he may have the same issue
- sounds very upper respiratory, so be on the lookout on your dogs. This is
not a dry cough, very wet sounding. His temp was 103.8 and he lost appetite.
Chloramphenicol to the rescue for him. So keep a little extra eye on 2 and 4
footers alike.
