We finally got Wrigley into the vet (which took some doing and they originally wouldn't take him.) ... he was sooo sick by the time we got there. We dropped him off and came back an hour and a half later. (during which time we were able to drink a little and watch playoff baseball... needless to say we were in much better spirits than when we dropped him off) Turns out he had a bronchial infection (like bronchitis for dogs)... thus the choking / coughing... and then puking. The vet shot him up with antibiotics, a cough suppressant and he slept so hard all night. He totally stopped coughing (except for one time.. he threw up). You can tell he is feeling much better ... but still isn't himself. He will stand and sit in one place for a long time trying to figure out what is going on with his body.
Regardless, the medicine is working and we will soon have a healthy doggie! I am so glad.
Dax and I were soooo tired by the time we went to bed (not tired enough to sneek in a little nooky before bed)... because we had been up all night.
This morning Wrigley was itching to go for a walk... but it is POURING outside and I am not about to take him out in the rain with Bronchitis! We took a couple laps up and down the halls in the apartment building. He liked that.
I love that dog and I am so glad he is okay.
