Im so mad at myself.....
I took my pup to PetSmart to get a bath (puppy oatmeal bath package is only $16). He had peed in his crate 2 days in a row b/c I got home late from work.
i took him not this saturday but last saturday. Come monday and tuesday I see he is real lethargic, barely eating and not barking. By wednesday he didn't eat unless it was from my hand and that was for a few bites, otherwise he didn't eat. I decided to take him to the vet and found out he had kennel cough. They gave him 2 medications and a IV since he was running a high temperature.
I feel so so so so bad. It is my fault and should have just abthed him mself. I just figured with it being cheap and saving he and I the agony of a bath it would be easier to take him to PetSmart. Now after that brief stay he go kennel cough.
I had to go out of town and had a friend who was going to watch hem but since they have a dog & kennel cough is of course contagious I had to board him with the vet. I haven't seen my lil dude since thursday and I can't wait to pick him today after work. I hoep he doesn't take long to get over his sickness.
Goes just to show that no matter how careful you think you can be there can always be something that can go wrong. He just turned 12 weeks old this past sunday. I keep him in the house and only outside to potty to avoid him getting sick and to wait till he has had all of his shots.
He is a high energy pup and to see him for 2-3 days looking horrible hurt bad.
