Leo

My photo is my beautiful rescue dog Leo. He has recovered well from his poor start in life but is currently suffering some heart problems. I guess the hot weather is not helping.

He has some paralysed muscles in his neck which does mean that he coughs a little now and then in an attempt to clear his throat. However this week his cough has got worse. A visit to the vets seems to show that he has kennel cough. Antibiotics for a week and a return visit Friday will confirm if this diagnosis is true. If it is, no doubt my other pooch, Jessie, will also develop this cough. I hope not.

Leo is due a short haircut Saturday to help him cope with the hot weather but if he has kennel cough I will have to cancel this. Don't want to go spreading it around. Poor sweetie his coughing is wearing him out.
