ugh i know, she just cant seem to avoid anything.lol. no i say i hope its an allery because it doesnt seem to be a food allergy. no vomit or booty blasters. i think what it is is airborne allergens. pollen and stuff. she tends to get the rash after being outside in the grass for a while, and the cough seems to come about when the seasons start changing. she had it before when it was starting to get summerish out, and now we are chaning to fall and shes getting it again. it cant be bronchitis, we already tried that one... i really dont think its kennel cough, its not the same sounding cough, she was vaccintated but that was months ago, and she has no other symptoms, just a cough. really, let me explain this cough better. when she does it, people think shes doing a "quiet bark" you know, like when a dog starts to get excited and does the little "wwwrrrooof" and his lips puff out, but he doesnt open his mouth. well thats what they think it is. but i know this isnt true, because well... A she doesnt do that, and B its to phlegmmy sounding and C she does it without being excited and well h*ll, i just KNOW its a cough lol. shes going to the vet tomorrow so hopefully we can get this all figured out. i havent heard her cough yet today, so hopefully the little stinker doesnt do what she did before... she stopped coughing the day before and when the vet tried to induce a cough she would lol. and he kind of looked at me like i was nuts lol. thanks a lot Chloe...thanks a lot...
