He's still drinking normal and eating normal, the mucus is like clear and last night I saw a bubble come out of his nose. I'm not sure about the fever, he felt a little warm last night. The doctor when he took his temp said it was a little above normal is about it. And that's about. He still plays normal and he still eats and drinks.
All this like before he was sleeping a lot more and stuff that's about it, he's not sleeping so much now, but just wanting to play more and wanting to go outside. Which I try to let him go out when its warm out and not to let him go out so much when it gets cool. Cause its starting to get cooler at night. He mainly sneezes more though when he's outside but inside he's sneezes every now and then. This is something that we mentioned to the vet. Which he said its normal for dogs to sneeze when they are excited. --- In [email protected], Pam B <floridapos...@...> wrote: > > What color is the mucous? Does he have a fever? How is his poo?
