[Felvtalk] Fluid in Airway

Wed Mar 8 02:21:10 CST 2017

Funny you should mention that Jen because I DID have several recordings 
last season when the problem was substantially worse... Of course I 
couldn't locate them when I brought him to the vet...but that is the 
best answer to my dilemna...  The Sound is definitely pronounced enough 
to record well... The other day I stuck a large knife in his side to see 
if the fluid would come out but all I got was blood.....my bad... really 
did little to help the problem....
( I AM JUST KIDDING FOLKS!!!!!..HONEST !!!!!  : ).... Looks like I have 
some homework to do again on Airway issues in Kitties...
