False
T/F: Steroids and bronchodilators are often used in treatment protocols for feline asthma and canine chronic bronchitits
True

False
T/F: A negative heartworm antigen test rules out heartworm infection as primary process in dogs and cats presented for chronic coughing
False
T/F: Thoracic radiographs can be performed to help determine whether a cough is a primary pulmonary process in dogs presenting for chronic cough

T/F: Atropine is commonly used to help reduce secretions in cases of feline asthma
False
T/F: Stridor is an abnormal sound that is indicative of bronchoconstriction
