Third Time is a Charm?

いや~、もうユキの具合が良くならないうえに、彼女、咳し始めたのよ。
砂漠気候のこの地域では、バレーフィーバーと呼ばれる真菌感染症にかかる犬が多くて、わかりやすい症状が咳なのです。
ちなみにライチも3年前にかかりました。
咳のほかに、間接が痛くなったりするのもあるので、もしかして靭帯に異常があるわけではなくて、すべて感染症のせい?
そんなわけでこの2週間で3度目の獣医さん訪問となりました。
3回の獣医代で7万円は軽く超えてますよ、どうします?
血液検査の結果が出るのは水曜ぐらい。犬の薬が増えて怖いです。7つのうち二つはライチのてんかんの薬で、あとはユキの痛み止め、抗炎症薬、咳止め、抗生物質、抗真菌薬。
So the dog is still not doing any better, and last night, she started coughing.
In this desert climate, a fungal infection called valley fever is pretty common for dogs, and the most common symptom is coughing.
Our other dog had it 3 years ago.

So we have to re-group our thinking; maybe the joint pain and lethargy she was having was part of valley fever symptoms?
Hence our third visit to the vet in 2 weeks.
After another round of $350, she had a laser therapy for the knee and we will get the titer test result in a few days.
Now, in addition to phenobarbital and potassium bromide for the other dog, our hyena dog will have to take cough tablet, antibiotic, Tramadol, NSAID, and fluconazole.
Need to cook some rice to calm her stomach.
