She's 11months old and it's only recently she's developed a bit of a
wheeze...more of a whistle sound from her nose.
The vet said her chest sounds fine and she's had a course of baytril, but
it's still there, so I'll have to take her back to the vet and ask for a
different antibiotic.
Apart from that she's never had any ailments. <touching wood>
