Great! Sunny caught my cold!

Got a doggy aspirin as the vet suggested. Didn't know they had such a thing. Also he has given me pills to give Sunny to help with the congestion Sunny is having issues with.

I Sunny doesn't really have an appetite. But he has a obsession with chicken so he is getting his favorite soft food 2 a day to tempt him to eat. He can't resist not to nibble here and there.

Water is not problem. He has been drinking a lot. Been useing puppy pads because he is just not feeling like going outside.

I still can't believe with all the precautions I take that I caught it. And I horrified I past it to Sunny.

be transmitted from human to dog (or cat). Have you tested?

Could be coincidental with allergies or something else occurring in the pup as you develop upper respiratory symptoms, but it might not hurt to consider this.

That was my first worry. I didn't think dogs could catch the Cold from people. Vet says they can.
