We know we're on borrowed time and ever since we came back from the vet a couple of weeks ago, she's been much improved. But yesterday she took a turn for the worse. We had a dreadful night because she's coughing like crazy and sounds like a seal at feeding time. If I didn't know better, I'd think she caught DH's cold. I would think it was kennel cough except that it came on so suddenly and is an extension of the coughing that she has been doing every time she pees. I suspect it is fluid on the lungs caused by poor circulation, but this is only my amateur diagnosis. Her appetite and eyes are still good but I feel very sorry for her coughing so hard and so often. After breakfast this morning we went back to bed and slept until noon. When I woke up, I lay there still for a long time as she was finally sleeping without coughing and I didn't want her to start up again. We'd appreciate if you could send a few positive thoughts her way.

Mei-Ling is my heart dog and first pug. She's 14 1/2 and has had no awareness of her hind half for a couple of years so she has chronic UTIs and needs help pottying every 3-4 hours. But she is still "the boss of me" and has lots of spirit. As a puppy:  As an adult:  Summer of 2007:  Summer of 2008 as an onlooker at Pug Pollywog Swim  |

My boyfriend absolutely fell in love with Mei-Ling when he saw her at the pugalug swim, he thought she was such a tough gal to be walking around even though she couldn't really use her back legs. Our whole family is wishing Mei-Ling the best and hope that she isn't in too much pain.

Thanks, everybody. She seems to be doing a little better today - less coughing and when she does, less violently. I started her on Clavamox yesterday (I had some in the house for her chronic UTI) and it may be kicking in. She had a fairly good night and that probably helped too. She's a tough old bird, I'll give her that.
