Thanks so much for the suggestion. Gidget got worse this afternoon w the hacking cough. Husband videoed the episode. We took her back in as an ER. X-ray was still clear. Vet thinks it is a bad tracheitis from what he could see on the video - he complimented us and told us he really appreciated the video bc the sound of the cough helps him know where it is coming from (I told him - YT friend w a great idea!). Still started the Tussagon as planned, and if it is no better by Wed, he will start steroid.

Thanks again - that really helped the vet!
