fishfish 17 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 coughing up green phlegm is a sign of a lung infection. i get them from dust some times,this could get nasty. ide recomend a vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 They dont normally weeze with kc if you squeeze the lump in his throat a bit he will start coughing immediately if its kc.If he is wheezy too then a vet case Quote Link to post Share on other sites
