His foster home reached out to say that, unfortunately, he had been exposed to Kennel Cough.

 

The vaccine – Bordetella – is like the flu shot, and the concern is not the kennel cough but the secondary infection of pneumonia.

 

So, we had to postpone his boosters and recheck, and sadly, his condition worsened, and on January 17th, we had him booked to be seen.

 

He was placed on antibiotics, plus meds for nausea/vomiting, and we may have to start his vaccine protocol from the beginning once he has become healthy.

 

We also cannot move forward with his neuter, address that fractured tail, or X-ray to properly diagnose what may be happening with his hips or knees.

 

Some days, it is so hard to catch a break. 

 

We have also entered a food crisis.

 

We continue to keep the faith!
