| Coughing / Honking Noise Some people may be worried if this is happening, but all it means is they have worms. When we first got Lucky, he was honking, and we brought him to thew vet. The vet said he had worms. Just to make it clear! P.S- They weren't harmful worms. |

| Coughing can be related to many different things. Collapsing trachea, congestive heart failure, pneumonia...and yes, worms. Thank you for that reminder...many times worms are the last thing thought of. A vet visit is always best to determine the cause.

| When ever I have a vet visit I always bring a fresh stool sample. And thank goodness I do, Cody has had Giardia another time some kind of worms and he was showing NO signs of any kind of distress. Every single poop Cody makes I look to see if there is anything wiggling, however parasites cannot not be seen with the naked eye. Always better to be safe then sorry is my motto.
