Modern thought often places fruits and vegetables at odds with each other. A food can belong to one but not both. Botanically speaking, a fruit develops from the wall of a plant's ovary and encases the seeds, so back in 1893, John Nix was right: Botanists consider tomatoes a fruit, not a vegetable.
Upper Respiratory Tract Infection in Dogs. Upper respiratory tract infections in the dog are most commonly due to bacteria and viruses. Until recently most clinicians assumed that dogs with acute onset nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, sneeze and cough had âkennel coughâ caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Common upper respiratory problems include: Kennel cough: If a dog has kennel cough, wheezing is accompanied by a dry, hacking cough. Asthma: Asthma in dogs is not as frequent as in cats, but sometimes dog also get asthma as a result of allergic reactions to some airborne allergens. Dog wheezing caused by asthma is usually accompanied by coughing and sneezing. Bronchitis: Dogs with bronchitis also have a dry, hacking cough, which may be accompanied by wheezing and gagging. If you live in a place where mosquitoes are abundant, it is essential that your dog get medications for heartworm prevention.
