Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on here. Anyhow, hubby and I have noticed Pixie sometimes flinches when we go to pet him. It almost looks like he is afraid we are going to hit him. We really don't know much about Pixie's history prior to us rescuing him. We found him living...

Hello everyone! It has been awhile. So, today hubby and I took Pixie to the vet because of a cough he has developed over the last week. At first I thought it might be hairballs (even though he has no history of having hairballs) but the coughing episodes weren't producing any hairballs, plus...
