Our first thought was maybe his heart condition, but the vet said no, just an irritated throat. She had some fancy name, but I can't remember it now. :) Anyway, here is the video of Tanner...his cough seems a bit wetter than BFGC's. <br /><br />http://fourcrazycats.blogspot.com/2010/09/wordy-wednesday-health-update-and-video.html<br /><br />Best of luck...sending purrs your way.<br /><br />~Four Crazy CatsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120300491563870290.post-10962123998464099082011-11-05T23:22:49.632+00:002011-11-05T23:22:49.632+00:00Oh poor Puss!

I agree with the Lounge Kats' mom...maybe try giving him some laxatone or petromalt to help move things through. The fact that he's acting normal otherwise is positive. I sure hope the problem resolves.<br /><br />Island Cats' momThe Island Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593776444080555845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120300491563870290.post-30499094108810992992011-11-05T18:38:02.909+00:002011-11-05T18:38:02.909+00:00Clementines coughs and wheezes every so often!

Hers seemed to me like an asthma attack; it's kind of like coughing and wheezing. I would wonder too if there was something in the air Puss could be allergic to? I hope the antibiotics will help with more time.

Have you tried giving him some laxatone or petromalt to help "ease" things through? Poor guy, I hope he upchucks/moves it through soon, and as long as he's eating/pooping/peeing OK I'd just watch him for a bit longer.

Our best advice is to watch to make sure he's doing everything normally-eating, drinking, using the box, etc. If all that's OK, we would just monitor the situation and try not to worry too much.<br /> Also, if my Mum and Dad were getting me to take my meds by covering them with prawns, I would develop the most amazing symptoms... just sayin'.<br /> Toby and Cupcake are sending their best wishes and purrs!<br /> Toby, Cupcake and Mum KateThe Tower Hill Mobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120300491563870290.post-52167363558001113502011-11-05T12:49:29.885+00:002011-11-05T12:49:29.885+00:00p.s. he's = his!

It does look as if he is trying to expel something rather than sneezing, i.e it doesn't sound like it's a cold/virus sneeze. But could it be an allergic reaction to things around him (air freshner for eg?)? And it's defintely not grass or seeds or anything he's ingested? Oh dear! Sorry -not much help but to me watching the clip - he's wanting to retch something out, or maybe he's throat is sore now from all the coughing and it's like the more you cough the more sore your throat hurts so you cough some more!<br /><br />I have everything cross that the meds work. I can only imagine how distressing this all is for you all to hear him like so, poor BFGC! Me and Charlie are sending lots of purrs and hugs!
