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.
Upper respiratory infections are actually quite common in dogs. They are normally caused by various bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. There are rare cases where the upper respiratory infection is caused by parasites, such as mites and lung flukes.ny dogs that do not have their Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine shot are at extreme risk for an upper respiratory infection. This risk is increased when the dog is located in an area that is packed with other dogs. Upper respiratory infection strains that affect dogs can often be passed to other dogs.
