Good wishes coming your way for Lucy's surgery. My Bob cat came through bladder stone removal fine nearly 10 years ago. I hope Lucy's goes well.
As for the coughing, I'd go ahead with the ultrasound. Popeye had one a year or so ago and it was truly no big deal. In fact he had a great time because the vet and all the office staff carried on over him so much...... I know I'm behind on my mail so I hope to read good news by the time I catch up! take care, tonya --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Patches has occasionally been coughing for about a week.
