Steam out the sickness!

I have been reading up on kennel cough a lot lately in hopes to find information on how to make Harley feel a little more comfortable.

Well, I have read, in quite a few places, that using a humidifier can help kennel cough because the humidifier helps reduce the inflammation of the bronchi (air passages into the lungs) and trachea (windpipe)....so we went out and bought a humidifier and it seems to be helping...at least a little bit.

Oh, and I have also read that you should bring the dog into the bathroom while you take a shower so that the steam helps reduce the inflammation as well....so I did that this morning. I brought a pillow and a blanket for her to lay on and she laid in their for about 30 minutes while I took my shower....She was just too cute, so I took a picture of her with my cell phone!



Here's to hoping she gets better soon!
