It's been a crazy week at our house, but I wanted to update you guys on Walter...
I had taken him in for a cold a week ago, and the vet went ahead and gave him some doxycyline. She did a respiratory test "just in case" to see what we were dealing with… turns out that Walter had mycoplasma. It is a bacteria that can cause colds and pneumonia in dogs. WHEW… I'm SO glad that she started the antibiotics on him BEFORE it got any worse I can't put into words how thankful I am to have a wonderful vet… she is really on TOP of things.
What else is interesting, everybody in the house right now has colds… I asked my vet if Wally's mycoplasma was contagious?!! She said that there is evidence that some viruses can be passed from animals to people…
