"Tussigon":

Your pet is being medicated for tracheobronchitis / cough.

There are a BUNCH of possible causes for coughing but ONE thing is consistent:
Severe and protracted coughing can do damage to the trachea.
NOT curbing cough when it's noisy and serious can be a bad mistake and there's a medicine that works well to stop it.
Tussigon. (That's a brand name)
It's quite expensive now a days if you can even find it.
So, lately, I'm not AUTOMATICALLY putting everybody on that.

If the cough is getting severe though, PLEASE CALL
CALL ME IF THE COUGH IS SEVERE ENOUGH FOR TUSSIGON (or similar homatropine/hydrocodone cocktail)

How Coughing Wrecks the Trachea Even MORE (Illustrated)

Have you seen these?

These can track your pet (or kid) in real time and unless they get the thing off their collar, you can find your pet. Highest rating on Amazon - reliable and again, unlimited range. (It uses the internet)

Put one on your pet soon, and cut your chances of losing your pet.

Long range, waterproof Pet Location GPS Tracker.

Something else I found for my dog "Ajax" that's cool:

Sporn Dog Halter STOPS "pulling and tugging" NOW. (Link)

This is what I use now, with my dog Ajax. I used to use the Gentle Leader, but I didn't like including his face in the thing. Now, this just goes around his chest and he DOES NOT PULL ANY MORE. It's great! Amazon.com has it.

You can buy a fat bundle of 'wet wipes' with Cetaphil and I'd recommend it. They're great for cleaning healing wounds, dirty ears, cleansing around some eyes, under-tails, surgery sites, sores.
