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.
Many respiratory infections are caused by bacteria. The kennel cough or Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common bacterial infection in canines. The condition manifests through dry coughing, which may take up to 4 weeks to clear. The condition can be treated with antibiotics and is very rarely fatal.
