Re: News from Attila! :)

Hello Traci, no actually I don't think that was invistigated... in fact, now that I think about it, it sounds right... I'm going to ask about it to the Australian vet who is working on the therapy. She's had other cases of aspergillosis in cats and she must know if we must not let him out again... U...
