To Courtney Elaine Davis: >Hi I have notice that one of my fuzzies has been kind of making this >coughing sound like he has some phlem in his throat. Is this something >that I need to look into further? Without any further information than the presence of coughing, I would have to say a definite yes. Coughing can often be a first sign for a number of diseases, including heart disease, pneumonia, or bronchitis. I'd have your vet check on this as soon as possible.
