Okay, back again. Upper respiratory inflammation can become chronic and develop bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. She should be kept in a warm, dry, dust-free place, rested and fed soft foods. Antitussives for the cough, antibiotics or sulfonamides for infection, analgesics for the pain, or expectorants are all possible veterinary treatments.

That was verbetum from the book. Bob is just guessing so it really would be good for a vet to see her. I think I remember you saying she was short of breath, I don't remember you mentioning a cough.

It apparently could be viral rhinopneumonitis, viral arteritis, influenza, infectious bronchitis or strangles. Until she is well, I would take precautions to not transfer any germs to Okie. See him first, etc, and then SL.

I vac her for Rhino and influenza. Do you call it a cough? Just that one time she had to stop and hack that stuff up. The force was strong enough that she got it on my sweater. After that just dripping. I have her in the barn but I decided not to put the blanket on. If she starts a fever tonight she might get too hot and it seemed comfortable.
