Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concerns. If you have not had chest / abdominal x-rays performed, I would consider doing so. It sounds as though Ebony may have a respiratory infection. A bronchoalveolar lavage may also be something to consider to culture any potential bacteria from the airway so that your vet knows what antibiotics to use, if any. A specialist would probably be the most appropriate next step, especially if your vet does not have the appropriate diagnostic tools to move forward in order to achieve a diagnosis. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!
