[Nyagdu] Coughing

[Julie Phillipson]

they have to use a scope to watch in the throat what it is doing.  I had to 
leave him at the vets for a while to figure it all out.
Is he showing any other symptoms of allergies like itching or noise running 
and sneezing more?  Pretty much the same as human's.
