Is she a lung-er or not?


One of my fears is owning a lung-er:   an animal that gets a respiratory infection or pneumonia or whatever and develops a chronic, hacky cough.  It makes me feel like a bad herdsman, and it's also annoying and embarrassing.

We were really afraid that Prim would be chronic.  We doctored her a few times with different degrees of success, but never getting her over it for more than a few days.  The dry weather and blowing dust has not helped her condition one bit.

FINALLY, the first day of Christmas break, when we took all the girls in for shots and stuff, we got the vet to give her some Micotil.  We don't ever want to mess with giving Micotil ourselves because it is very dangerous to humans.  We have been told that if you accidentally inject yourself with it, you could be dead before you get to your truck.

So we had that done for Prim at the vet by a professional.

Then when we did chores for the next week, we held our breath and listened...and listened...and listened.  No cough!  Yea!  Prim's not a lung-er!
