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.
Bacterial infections are also common in pets that have problems with their immune system, such as very young or very old pets, pets on a poor nutritional diet, or pets that have cancer. Lower respiratory infections can also be caused by parasites, such as lungworms, or by fungal infections.
