The Canine Version of Man Flu

So, the conversation this morning went something like this:

Vet: What seems to be the matter with Poppy today?

J.B:  Well, she wasn’t herself at all last night, lay curled up in her bed, looking miserable. Would only eat her dinner if I fed it to her by hand. This morning she wouldn’t eat and wasn’t interested in going out for a walk, which she usually loves. I think she might be coming down with a bout of tonsillitis again?

Vet: She doesn’t have a temperature.  Her glands aren’t swollen. Her tonsils look okay. Has she been sneezing a lot lately?

J.B: Sneezing?… um, no I don’t think so……

Vet: She does have a very runny nose, and there is a virus going around – I think that’s probably what she has.

J.B: A virus? What? You mean like a cold?

Vet: Yes, pretty much. Lets give her some anti-inflammatories and some antibiotics and see how she is in a couple of days

J.B: Oh right…

Vet: That will be £40.00 please

So we came home – where we seem to have made a remarkable recovery already……
