bobbi: Thanks for your good thoughts

boscibo: Thank you for your tips . . . it's good to hear that this might not be as bad as I am imagining . . . you know how it is though, always think the worst. She has had those coughing fits that you described for almost her whole life. (she's only a year old) but we always thought it was hairballs.

I will definitely start sweeping more & dusting more. That will give me an excuse so I will have to do it more often! (I hate dusting! LOL)

I'll talk with my Vet about it some more when I take Brodie in for his next set of shots.

Thanks again for your input . . . and I look forward to more
