    Dog Flu

    I think my dog has my cold/fluey type thing he's hacking and coughing till he retches just like me and he's short of breath too. Been off his tea a little bit recently.....i was blaming the fireworks but he's still not eating properly.

    any ideas?

    Dog doesnt seem to be too bad apart from occassionally coughing, but he's really short of breath and thats whats worrying me most.

    i think he has exactly what i have had cos it's as if he's got a cold and a mucusey chest hence the short breath, and he has a really sore throat hence the hacking and coughing and retching and not wanting to eat solid food.......i've had to make it mushy for him

    But never the less he's at the vets tomorrow so i'll let you all know how he is:D

    Yes, but i think it has to be full blown flu rather than a big cold.
