Dan and I boarded Lily for the weekend while we were away. On Monday I picked her up and noticed that she was sneezing a bit. Tuesday night when I got home and let Lily in she went straight for a guest bed and stayed there all night. Her appetite wasn't the same and she kept on sneezing. When she did come around me it seemed all she was going to do was sneeze on me. Perhaps she was aiming for my body so the snot would hit me. "Hey mom, guess what, (sneeze) I'm sick"...she got me in the back of my neck, my calves, my face, you name it.
One time I saw a mom of a little boy reach down to wipe her son's nose. She didn't have any tissue. She just used her hand and then put her hand in her jeans pocket to wipe the buggers away. I'm not there yet but I was feeling like a real mom when I put up with my furry child's snot showers.
I took her to the Vet and learned Lily has a cold, a doggie cold virus she picked up from the kennel. She got a shot and is taking TWO antibiotics. Poor pooch is on amoxa...whatever and some other latin thing. All I can say it thank goodness she takes medicine like a champ. That sick dog is a dream and she should be back to normal in a few days.
