A few years ago my daughter's dog ran away and when we got her back from Battersea they said keep an eye on her in case she's picked anything up or has caught kennel cough. A few days later my daughter was worried that the dog had a cough - I said it's just a cough and she's doing it for attention as every little noise you run and pick her up and baby her. 3am Monday morning my daughter rings up crying "mum, she's coughing, she's got kennel cough, she's coughing, she's dying etc etc" . I found an all night vet, picked my daughter and dog up and we got to the vet about 4am. Daughter and dog go in with vet, ten minutes later back out, daughter and dog both smiling. I said all ok, yes they both nod, so i said wait for me in car while I pay the bill. �95 on my card but I was pleased the dog would survive. Thanked vet and assistant profusely, gave the assistant a �5 for their tea and biscuits and went and got in car. As we drove off I asked daughter what was wrong with the dog? " oh it's just a cough, nothing wrong with her at all" she said with a happy smile!!! �100 for a second opinion on a cough!
