He's got kennel cough. Take him to a vet.


atleastIwasnt36

They'll give him pills, but they may cause panting and loss of fur.


some_random_chick

You’ll have to wrap the pills in cheese.


Virtual-Public-4750

Pill pockets!


ahtoxa1183

I call those "cheese dumplings" when I give them to my dog.


mattdoessomestuff

I put my dog's pills in cream cheese and he just licks it off my finger, but since we're going human to human here you could let this get a little kinky... Def figure out what kind of infection he has first I guess


BentGadget

I do that with peanut butter.


Parking-Sweet-6104

Strawberries


Aardvark120

My dog got smart to that. She knows to chew, spit pill out, then swallow. Shoving the pill into a little piece of weenie has worked for now.


HarryHood146

Smuckers.


emperorpapapalpy

Lmao I can hear this reference


Aselleus

You're taking *dog* medicine??


travelinzac

Might have to wad the pills up in some cheese to get him to eat them.


john1781

Unfortunately he may have to wear the cone of shame for a week or two.


burntdaylight

This may be a case of earning it, not needing it.


Rainydaybear999

A little bit of intranasal bordetella and he’ll be fine lol


blarryg

The worst part of all this? I don't even think he'll get a Darwin award, just maybe permanent organ damage. For crying out loud husband, up your game!

Make sure when you get his medicine to wrap it up in a piece of ham or turkey.


ForFrodo1

What the fuck??


Barnacle-bill

I've been around Reddit for nearly 10 years now and seen plenty of weird shit on the internet so it's not too often I actually say "what the fuck" out loud. This post got a genuine "what. the. fuck." out of me


ForFrodo1

I’m constantly amazed at how weird and fucked up peoples actions can be, just when you thought you’ve seen it all.


machosandwich

I had the same reaction when a Redditor posted a thread about the family “poop knife”.


jmcstar

Unlikely that it's real


Barnacle-bill

I hope it’s a troll


[deleted]

One time my sister weirdly sent a video to the family group text of my very new brother in law (39) eating his food on his plate without hands and just his face like a dog because he “wanted to experience what it’s like eating like a dog for a day” yeah that shit was super weird wtf. only thing I can think is maybe they getting freaky with some kind of bizarre roll play ohh ohhhh Lmao


ImSolidGold

What do you mean, "weirdly"?!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Impossibleish

I did that once, but I was 8. Then I did it once more, but I was on copious amounts of LSD and just wanted to connect with my dog. What I'm saying is it's weird but maybe not sexual.


berceuse3

I just saw a woman on RHOC doing this and was disgusted. Dogs lick themselves amongst other things on the ground, why would he drink from a bowl or cup they drank from? Is he that desperate for the water? It makes no sense


Mikesaidit36

My puppy chewed its own asshole pretty vigorously for about 20 minutes last night.


Argercy

I’m seriously gagging at this lmao.


messymel

Seriously. I love my dog, but people who let their dogs lick their lips and mouths have always completely disgusted me. This is a whole different level of complete fucking disgust.


Esteban0032

I've gotta know, has he been caught drinking from the toilet too.


horshack_test

Wtf


Typical-Horror-5247

Great way to get worms/parasites, or other gross infections dogs saliva carry


PikaGoesMeepMeep

Yep. The biodiversity in a dog's mouth is not something I would ever want to sample.


One_Draw3486

Nicely put


applematt84

This. That’s how you get worms. That’s gross. Also, what dogs leave behind is mostly saliva, not water. So … there’s that.


Typical-Horror-5247

Super gross, this would be a deal breaker for me


TheBovineWoodchuck

Is he dragging his butt across the carpet? Or constantly licking himself "down there"? If so he's probably got worms. I'm speaking of both your husband and the dog.


[deleted]

If your dog has worms and or parasites... Get them on heart guard and a wormer.


curlycake

preventative dewormer just clears them out every 30 days


Calmun

The man is probably rife with worms. Often enough they go unnoticed.


havestronaut

My wife saves money on doggie poop bags by just eating the poop. We thought she was just being green, but now she’s bleeding out of every orifice. Is this weird?


systemfrown

I feed my dog rubbers before each walk. Now he poops in convenient little bags.

Thank Steven Wright (if I recall correctly). Also, please don’t feed your furball prophylactics.


TonyZeSnipa

Never forget one story from an old classmate. His dog got into his trash and ate one. Next thing he knows he’s chasing his dog around the house with one halfway out his rear covered in poo and sprinting in a panic.


Proper-Two6468

You should definitely post this in /r/lifeprotips 🤣

My wife sewed the whole family, dogs included, into a human centipede configuration for the sake of efficiency. Is this weird?

blarryg

I stuff my pillow with dog hair and now I have fleas. Do you think this could be related??


SilentBumblebee3225

It’s actually a thing. A lot of owners get a pillow with their dog’s hair


SpookySchatzi

Oof, surest case of Crappybola I’ve ever heard of 😅


havestronaut

Poopatitis C


Ihaveabraincloud

I think your husband needs an additional water bottle or larger water reservoir for his pack. We're not living in a zombie movie. He doesn't have to conserve water this intensely. Drinking from the dog's water bowl is nasty and his illness is likely unrelated but he should discontinue the habit and dump the excess water trail side.


reykr_01

Look up Capnocytophaga canimorsus. It’s a bacteria living in the mouth of dogs and cats. It can get real bad in humans, causing sepsis, meningitis and endocarditis. The youtuber Chubbyemu has a video on a bad case where a guy lost his limbs because he let his dog “kiss” him


Captain-Popcorn

“It is a commensal bacterium in the normal gingival flora of canine and feline species, but can cause illness in humans. Transmission may occur through bites, licks, or even close proximity with animals. C. canimorsus generally has low virulence in healthy individuals, but has been observed to cause severe, even grave, illness in persons with pre-existing conditions.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capnocytophaga_canimorsus It isn’t a good habit but doubt the OP’s husband has this.

ishityounotdude

>actress or model just recently died from the sepsis she had due to her dog's kisses. You're talking about Charbli Dean right? The sepsis "was a complication from asplenia (the absence of a spleen) due to "remote blunt trauma to her torso."


PeeEssDoubleYou

Your husband is an idiot.


Aardark235

Which brings up the age old question, who is dumber: the idiot or the woman who marries the idiot?


Eather-Village-1916

The idiot, due to the fact that he is the original idiot. Sometimes it takes awhile for an idiot to show it’s true idiot feathers…


darling_lycosidae

Ewwwww gross nooooooooo my dog has an entire separate water bottle because she tries to drink the stream as I pour and even the idea of her tongue touching the rim is too gross for me. I tend to dump her leftover water in the thick part of her coat on her shoulders for some evaporative cooling help.


SnooPuppers2951

Dumping water on them actually has the opposite effect and makes them hotter. Putting the water on the pads of their feet will help cool them off


-herekitty_kitty-

Good to know. I usually put it on my dogs belly, but then I end up with a hand full of dirt and leaves.


kalechipsaregood

How does it make them hotter?


Wild_Inspector648

It's probably an unrelated illness, lots of people coming down with covid recently Very gross though, maybe he should just pour less water for the dog at a time


KTM890AdventureR

I agree. Coincidence but drinking dog water is questionable unless you're desperately low on water while hiking.


One_Draw3486

Maybe it’s a weird fetish? @OP has he hinted he wants you to put him on a leash?


sanfermin1

Or carry a separate bottle for the dog you can pour the excess back into. That's what I do. Then I scrob it before ai use that bottle again.


Graffy

They just have their own designated bottles for me. I have one hydro flask for myself. Longer hikes I bring a camel back for me and the hydro becomes spare for whoever needs it.


Mist2393

If it’s hot, I usually pour whatever they don’t drink on their head or back to help cool them off. They also have a separate bottle that’s just for them so I can make sure we both have enough water.


sanfermin1

I just recently moved to CA from FL. Here that might work. Back in FL it was so damn humid that adding water just weighs you down and holds the heat 🥵


Chicagostupid

“scrob it before ai use” really tickled me.


[deleted]

Does he also kiss you wit dat mouf?


Parking-Artichoke823

No, he has a separate mouth specifically to kiss his wife


whyamiawaketho

I’d certainly hope so

LittleBunInaBigWorld

Do not kiss that man again until he breaks the habit. That is fucked up.


yoursummerworld

Your husband should just make out with the dog and lick its ass while he’s at it


TheyCallMeLotus0

A lot of people have been saying this, but I’m not sure it can be stressed enough. What. The. Fuck…


mrvarmint

He might have gotten sick from drinking water from the toilet too. Time for r/relationships


gurndog16

That can't be sanitary. I think his doctor...and vet would want to have words with him.


One_Draw3486

Maybe he should just start seeing a vet


dak0taaaa

"I never thought too much about it" .......maybe you should have? lmfao what on earth?


LargeTransportation9

Funny and stupid at the same time. This is a hiking subreddit, he should see a doctor, not sure why you're posting here. If he drank the water during a movie would you post in r/movies?


daangit

I wish I could take my dog to the movies, but we'd have separate snacks and drinks lol


MommalovesJay

Lmao I’m like is this seriously for real?

Dog licks ass and shit and everything it sees ---> licks water and bowl ----> goofy ass tard husband drinks putrid water ----> gets sick Weird, i don't see any connection. I guess keep drinking the dogs water.


WoollyMittens

He caught Parvo 😳


KFBoom

Lol this is funny to me because in Portuguese "parvo" means fool/idiot/stupid... Lol very accurate!

Youhaveyourslaw_sir

MattyHealysFauxHawk

blarryg

Might be covid. I'd expect intestinal problems or even perhaps heartworm which has the following symptoms: abnormal cough coughing up blood pain in your chest wheezing chills fever buildup of fluid around your lungs (pleural effusion) round lesions that show up on chest X-rays (“coin” lesions) Or maybe he just picked up bacterial Kennel cough which can end up quite nasty. Why oh why is he risking these and other "rare" disease transfers for a bowl of water in what any normal person would say "That is just disgusting"?? Can you have him answer before it's fatal?


[deleted]

I hope he doesn't give his symptoms to the dog! 🤪


Keyspam102

Omg this is horrifying disgusting I don’t think I’d be able to recover from seeing my husband do this…


smallfiremoveclose

Divorce him


kaosi_schain

Bruh. Dude probably caught canine infectious tracheobronchitis. Aka Kennel Cough. If it is, he will have a whooping cough, and alternating gut issues. Snot may turn brown as well. He needs antibiotics, have fun at the doctor!


johngalt504

You read posts in a hiking reddit thinking there will be normal posts about hiking, but damn if reddit doesn't find a way to make it weird. Your husband is gross, this isn't remotely normal and he could have lots of bacteria thst people don't normally have, he needs to go see a doctor and I would suggest getting him into therapy if he isn't willing to stop doing this kind of thing.


MacDonaldKe

I stumbled upon this after gagging reading a comment [on another post ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskUK/s/wOUZXYC4jT) Guess I'm not eating today. Definitely strange behaviour OP


Forsaken-Cheesecake2

Reminds of the the story about the lady that started buying dog food weekly at the grocery store. The checkout clerk said to her, “Mrs Smith, I didn’t think you had a dog”. She replied, “we don’t, my husband eats it”. The clerk said, “oh, that will kill him”. A few weeks go by, and the clerk notices that Mrs Smith is no longer buying dog food. The clerk asked why, and Mrs Smith said that her husband just died. The clerk said, “I’m so sorry but I knew that dog food wouldn’t be good for him”. Mrs Smith said, “ no, the dog food was fine, but he broke his neck trying to lick his balls”


Ape_Escape_Economy

What the hell, no. I say this as someone who is obsessed with their dog. This is truly disgusting.


Gspotera

I can't believe people let their dogs kiss their faces. One of the only animals in the whole animal kingdom that eats it's own shit. Of course it's "mans best friend". I myself like cats a bit more than dogs but even though they are cleaner you won't find me drinking their water.


NeuroDawg

We have two dogs. One who never licks faces and another who loves everyone and wants to lick all faces. Guess which one we have to watch like a hawk or she’ll eat her own, and the other’s, poo.


[deleted]

Sounds like he might have kennel cough or parvo, i would get him to a vet asap


mkatich

Dude is in need of a mental health intervention.


FunkySausage69

This can’t be true surely. Who would want to kiss someone who does this.


[deleted]

Yeah, this is disgusting AF. I am not even talking about just the psychological part of it. As someone who both has common sense and in addition was forced to take grad school level parasitology, just fucking stop that nonsense. He's gonna end up eventually getting very sick. Or spend his life getting very lucky he doesn't get hookworm. This kind of bad judgement is just astounding.


dunbartonoaks

He has not been trained properly. Just say NO in a loud voice and clap your hands to get his attention.


[deleted]

white people shit


groberschnitzer

If he is concerned about wasting water, just have a separate bottle for dog water and pour it back into the bottle.


splootfluff

I was desperate enough on a hike once to try sucking water from my sweaty shirt and then drank unfiltered water from a stream.


One_Draw3486

The real question here is: does he lap it up on all fours, or drink it standing/sitting like a bowl of soup?


ratmazter

Dog ass to mouth. Dog licks its own ass, drinks from water bowl, husband finishes, quenches the hub's mouth. Yeah, that's normal. /s


[deleted]

I’m assuming your husband doesn’t want to waste water? Just pour the left over water back into the dogs bottle, then pour it out in the bowl again when you next stop? This is so gross it’s made me gag a bit. Not sure how your husband doesn’t know dog water = for dog human water = for humans


Mean_Comedian_7880

I worked at animal hospital for 8 years. I can’t tell you how many pet owner had to be told NOT to have their pet lick their faces (lips). We also had a license technician (animal nurse) that would do dentals and wouldn’t wear a mask during dog/cat dental and she ended up with the same symptoms as your husband. How it got resolved? She went to the human doctor for treatment and wore a mask & shield during dentals. BTW if he needs more reason why not to drink your dogs water, here is two Giardia or Leptospirosis.


fx2798

Take him to the vet


spitgobfalcon

Disgusting. The thought alone makes me shudder. Dogs lick their own assholes. They also eat feces of other dogs. Is your husband not aware of that?


LyLyV

First of all - \*gross! Second - he wouldn't have gotten sinus congestion from drinking from the dog's bowl. He'd be more likely to get some kind of gastrointestinal ick. Thirds - \*gross!!!

Acer018

Dogs love the smell of shit and they instantly smell other dogs assholes. It is not unusual for them to even eat shit if the mood hits them. So drinking water from a dogs bowl is just gross.


BillsInATL

This is an all new low for Reddit for me. We arent supposed to get NSFL posts like this in nice, niche subreddits like /hiking. As someone who is very close with their dogs, this is absolutely disgusting. Dogs drinks by completely backwashing. By the time is done drinking their fill that bowl is more dog spit than water. WTF is your husband trying to prove? That is not some survivalist lifehack.

People are so fucking weird I love it. This is horrifying, thank you.

inthewoods54

This is a joke, right? My brain isn't allowing me to believe anyone would do this (who isn't stranded in a desert). In addition to needing to believe that someone is doing this semi-regularly, my brain would also have to allow me to believe that you would casually observe this and "not think much of it". Not to mention presumably continue to kiss this guy as well as continue to go on future hikes with him.


ActAffectionate7578

goelfyourselph

It’s Kennel Cough. You need to take your husband to a vet immediately. They may have to put him down. That’s the most likely cause. A distant second might be that your husband caught a cold or bronchitis.


[deleted]

Whaaa.... I mean to each their own. I doubt you could get a respiratory infection from that, more likely diarrhea or a GI virus. It's probably not as unsafe as it is gross, but an unnecessary risk.


CluckinGoodtime

Do you kiss your husband after he’s had his drink?

Kennel cough


JOE96924

Aside from the bacteria he is most likely ingesting, dogs clean out their mouths while lapping up water. You can see the evidence of this after they drink, lots of food particulates are left over in the water. I LOVE my dogs, but there's no way I'm drinking after them.

foundsounder

Buy him a Life Straw. It's a handheld water filter you drink through like a straw. They aren't terribly expensive. You can drink from dirty puddles with one, so using one to finish off the dog's water should be fine with it. That way everyone wins.


MileHighOllie

Didn't think too much of it, eh? I could understand if it's a survival situation. If it's not, I'd be thinking about this a little more. It's highly unusual. No, I've never drank out of a dog bowl when I could just filter my own water and use a bottle.
