When i feed the dogs Koda is in her crate.. she gets so excited and whines until i hand over the goods.. Monday morning brought about a nasty hacking, dry cough, gaggy thing with her whenever she whined.. this is something new.
I have an appt for her this afternoon to check it out.. i'm thinking Kennel cough, but it only happens when she whiines.. and i've never heard KC before to know for sure.. can symptoms present themselves 10 days after contracting it? I can only imagine she got it at the clinic where she had her surgery... so far Tuck hasn't shown any signs...
She also, for the first time since 4 days post-op, started limping this morning.
I know going backwards can be normal, but she didn't limp again after the inital few days of her first surgery.. os it does concern me a bit.
She may have slept on it wrong.. she may have been too much of a bouncy girl yesterday when she waits at the door for me to open it.. *bounce bounce bounce* but it can be hard to control sometimes..
Anyway.. not the best post-op day for us.. but a same-day appt is a nice surprise.
