[Magdalen] Doggie prayers, please

[Heather Angus]

My doggie of about 12 has just started coughing/honking like a Canada
goose, and I googled Dog Heavy Coughing, and read several articles, and I'm
pretty sure he has kennel cough. Apparently that's not terrible, but it
*can* go into pneumonia which is quite a bit worse. I'm going to at least
call the vet tomorrow about it, and I'm interested in learning what your
vet has to say about Gracie.
