Reverse Sneezes Suck!

Today started all wrong starting with oversleeping then stupid people started bugging me. Normally, I don't have a hard time with people in my building but today those that do bug me all decided to seek me out. By noon I was about to go postal!

I probably could have dealt with people at work better if I had gotten enough sleep last night but Winston had a very bad night thanks to his allergies. At 2 a.m. we were up with his reverse sneezes that scares both of us to death. It sounds as though he's having an asthma attack. The vet showed me a way to stop them by holding his mouth shut and covering his nose but the last two nights these attacks have be so severe that the trick didn't work. After one of these attacks Winston is so shook up that he won't lay down - he'll only sit at the edge of the bed very upset. I think the drainage that causes these attacks gets worse when he lays down. So last night I ended up sitting up with him and holding him upright until he feel asleep. My poor baby is having to take allergy medicine that makes him groggy and I hate it. Keep your fingers crossed that whatever is causing this problem goes away soon. I need my little man's world to be right again.

Enough for now.

So sorry to hear about Winston. Maggie has skin allergies that cause her to itch and shed like you wouldn't believe. But at least she doesn't have sneezing fits like that--that sounds really scary...hope the little guy gets better soon.

Winston also had the itching and shedding but I was able to change his food and that allergy went away. He doesn't get anything other than his chicken and rice dog food and his chicken and rice dog biscuits. Give him a piece of ice and he thinks he's in doggy heaven.
