Hello. I am so sorry that Brutus has aspiration pneumonia. Some pets will develop a productive cough, others will just breath very fast or very heavily & never cough. I hope he is receiving proper treatment & will be back to normal soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
