My darling Eddie had developed for himself a case of doggie flu. The vet has him on some medication, along with cough syrup (!) and has recommended he be quarantined (Kennel Cough is highly contagious) with no exercise for 3 weeks. How do I convince Eddie of this?
I'm thinking of making him some chicken soup.
Meanwhile we play a wait and see game with Peppa, our 15 year old Whippet and hope she doesn't get it. Though the odds aren't in her favour...

Hi Kate, Yes vets actually say to give dogs with kennel cough, human cough medicine. We were going to leave Maggie in a kennel, when we went away last year (Luckily a friend looked after her) but she went in to the vets for her first set of jabs, came out looking sorry for herself and after a few days developed a slight cough, she didn't go back as it's a side effect. They do get over it themselves, the antibiotics just help it along, but there's no cure for kennle cough. I hope Eddie (and Pepper) are now both happy chappies!
