Sometimes they are able to cough up the mucus and other times it is slowly absorbed by the body. Since she’s having trouble breathing I recommend to call and update your veterinarian. They may recommend to see Cassie again. Best of luck and I hope this helps. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
