Rose, does Almalfi go outside at all? I'm asking this because on two different occasions, Mimi has had similar symptoms, plus very stinky breath. Sneezing, discharge, lack of appetite (her appetite is poor anyway), coughing unproductively, etc. Both times it was because a blade of grass was caught in her palet (sp?), between her throat and her nose. It irritated her sinuses, caused infection and made her miserable. We had imagined all sorts of horrible things both times, only to find out it was a blade of grass. The first one was found by our vet. The second one was sneezed out partially and we had to hold her down and "grab" it!

I hope the specialist will have some answers for you, but I thought I'd throw that out, just in case.
