I just had Meckie to the vet for the exact same thing -- excessive coughing that came on fairly suddenly. He examined her and took a chest x-ray (she's 13 and he wanted to be sure it wasn't her heart). He believes it was a combination of bronchitis, allergies and a slightly narrowing trachea. He put her on an antihistimine and antibiotic. The improvement was almost immediate. I hope it will be a quick fix for Gemma too. |
