There may be some good news as the lab has come up with 3 possible causes for Frey's cough. The first is lungworm for which we have been given advocate (at Ł25 a box I certainly will look into getting a prescription for it and getting it online).As Frey is prone to eating slugs this may :crossedfingers: be the cause.The rep from the pharmaceutical company has told the vet that it is getting more common in our area (but then surely that is what a rep would say sorry being cynical), The vet also stressed that it was a rare condition. 2nd cause could be an allergy though he said that trying to find out what was causing an allergic reaction with her lungs would be difficult. We will look into that further when we go back in 2 weeks he wants to rule out the lungworm first. 3rd cause is what Glo had but because Frey hasn't got that crackling sound on her lungs he's really undecided whether or not she could be in the really early stages. :pray: :pray: :pray: that it is not this. Just glad I didn't cancel their insurance and put the money into an account instead because there is no way there would have been enough money in. :phew: He has also reduced her steroids and hopefully she will be off them in a couple of weeks. He said that they are probably the reason that Freya has been so miserable and hopefully she should be back to her old self soon. Edited by westie mum, Nov 12 2008, 07:47 PM.
