so, right after we were finished with the trials, Brandy came down with the kennel cough. It wasn't really too bad, as she only coughed for one evening, so I gave her a week rest and then we started working on the open stuff again. Brandy had a blast jumping and retrieving but this morning she started coughing again:-( I don't know if it's a new infection or if the old one came back - this is a real bummer as we have to stop training again and Montgomery show is getting closer and closer.
Theoretically the kennel cough lasts 2-3 weeks. It has been two weeks today so maybe it's the old one and she will get better soon.
To help her with the cough I've decided to make her a drink that I was given as a kid when I would get sick with the cold. It's suppose to help with the coughing. I loved it!
I took some warm milk ( warm so I could melt butter), added butter to it, honey and raw egg. Mixed it all together and gave it to her warm. When you make it for people it's a bit more fancy, but she loved it just the same. I am not really sure if it made her feel any better or not. She didn't have any severe coughing after that, but it might be just a coincidence. We'll see how she is doing tomorrow.
I just found a story about the drink I made, here it is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Gogol-Mogol-Russian-Grandmas-Remedy-For-a-Sore-Throat--Cough-and-Cold
