[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 641069, member: 1963"] Absolutely. The cough from pneumonia can hang in there for a while. You should notice it decreasing in frequency and becoming "drier" as time goes on. You should also notice her breathing slowing and taking less effort. She has to clear the mucus from her lungs, and the inflammation has to heal up. That will take time. If you've ever had bronchitis or pneumonia, or even the flu, you know that the cough often takes a while to go away. It's the same in animals. Steaming her will help soothe the membranes and make it easier for her to get rid of the mucus by thinning it so she can cough it up. If she'll drink it, some salt-free or low-sodium chicken broth will help as well. You can give some to the kitten if he likes it as well. Best, toK [/QUOTE]
