Athena went to the vet

Post by Magnum's Mom »

Athena does not have Bortedella. She has reverse sneezing. It sure was scarey since I've never seen it before. While we were there she was tested for heartworm, erlychiosis, and Lyme disease and given her six month shot for heartworm prevention. She was very sweet about standing still and letting the vet poke and probe her.

Athena weighs about 50 pounds. This is small to me. Magnum never did any reverse sneezing, so when Athena did it for the first time it was frightening. She appeared to be struggliung to breath, which wasn't the case at all. She is just as fit as a fiddle. very sweet, too.
