[Felvtalk] Wheezing

[Marsha]

Milkdud had an occasional episode like that, but of course never at the 
vet's.  He always sounded fine at the vet, nothing heard on stethoscope, 
blood work good, so it was just left to observation at home to see if it 
got worse.  It was pretty much the same over 4 years, just an occasional 
episode.
