Good morning. This is my first attempt at having the group for breakfast so decided we should have a waffle morning. Batter is mixed and syrups and jams are out. Coffee, milk and juice too. I'm going to be in the garden weeding the pumpkins and melons so please help your self.
Breeze developed a loud barking cough followed by gagging so have been playing nurse to her. She hasn't been off the farm in 3 months, has no temperature or runny nose so kennel cough has been ruled out. She has spring time allergies and got into the compost heap last week and must have inhaled an irritant (leaf mold or dusty dry manure?) and has a bronchial irritation. At age 16 I suppose her immune system has lessened. Vet has given her hydrocodone which seems to help but I have been up with her everynight at 3 am while she has a barking spell. Inbetween the cough syrup I dose her with a tablespoon of honey. The cough seems to be less harsh and less frequent but still there. It is better when she is up moving around but trying to get a 16 year old couch potato moving isn't easy.
Hope everyone has a great day.
