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.
In dogs, the cause of upper respiratory infections can be viral, bacterial or parasitic. Respiratory infections are common in dogs; most recover without any complications. But some respiratory infections, such as canine distemper, that are viral in nature can be fatal if left untreated.ymptoms of an upper respiratory infection include coughing, sneezing, runny eyes, nasal discharge and blood or mucus in the stool. Coughing in dogs is often mistaken for vomiting or gagging.
