So the vet doesn't think it is kennel cough. She thinks it may be Valley Fever. I'd rather it be KC. :'( We won't have results back until Mon and she said it may come back as a false negative if I caught it early in the disease so we'll have to retest in a few weeks. I hate this **** disease. It's an epidemic this year and just recently one of my friend's dog died from it.

So first I had the scare with Murray's agility accident which turned out to be a lot of panick over nothing. Then I noticed he was peeing a lot...A LOT...even more than normal for my pred boy so I took in a urine sample to the vet who found traces of protein in the urine. Not good. So she ran a battery of tests for kidney and liver function as well as a bunch of other things. Everything came back normal. Then she tested for VF...again normal. So we retested his urine...normal. :-\ We have no idea why there was protein in the urine one day but not the next so I just watch and wait for now I guess. Oh and pay $250 in vet bills.
I took Essy in for her OFA last week too which was another $225. That was after the vet visit for her ear infection and to get her anal glands expressed.
Then yesterday Essy woke up hacking and gagging. Kennel cough. :-\ Our next show was supposed to be April 13 but maybe not now...for either dog.Bye bye entry fees. :'(
Around here, when it rains it pours...or maybe that should read "poor".
