Sorry forgot to metnion that at no time did either of them have gunky eyes etc, Stan did have a bit of runniness from his nose when he sneezed but they wasn't like you would expect them to be with cat flu.

Thanks for all your posts.
Well Mitzi literally has NO other symptoms at all except her coughing and her lack of mewo noise when she tries.
Shes eating well, shes energetic and lively, shes drinking well.... shes herself in every other way.

The vet said not to take her in unless she she has any other symptoms as if I do all they will give her is maltpaste to start with and see how that goes.
Does anyone know how many days it would take for maltpaste to take effect if it is actually a hairball?

She is normally very very vocal and meows to say hello and meows for her food, but she hasnt been the past 4 days and when she does try and meow her noise doesnt come out - I guess her throat could be sore?

What were the injections for if you dont me asking?

the vet gave her antibiotic injections and said she could hear wheezing and it was probally a cold, like yours she lost her meow for a while but alls well with her now and shes back to normal
i hope your little one is better soon.

Bascially both ended up on anti biotics snd are both no fine but I was so worried.

Hope this helps

PS googled symtoms but nothing came up and the vet has said it must of been a virus or soemthing, both are vacinated. It is starnge as I was ill a few weeks ago and someone suggested that if it was sswine flu I'd had then there has been a case in america of a house CAT CATCHING IT!!!

yes there was a case in the US where they proved a cat got swine flu. Makes me very nervous thinking a kittie can get this crud as well as us. I have two baby orpand little furry ones i have just managed to wean off the saringe feeding and dropper.. and been sick myself this week with H1.. If they get it i think ill die...

Hi Guys,
Im happy to report no coughing for 3 days solid now and her meow has returned!

Im guessing it was either a hair ball as she has been having her paste or a scratch to the throat which has healed.
Thanks for all your posts!
