This has happened twice tonight and im not too sure wat to do. Tux starts reaching as if he's gonna be sick then nothin comes up but he makes noises as if he's chokin or cant breath?

ive patted him on the back and it seems to have worked but i dunno whether someone is stuck or if its a furball that wont come up.

any ideas wat i can do 2nite? is it true butter help bring furballs up??

Hi,

Yes indeed some people use a little butter to help bring up hairballs, but you can buy a special paste for hairballs in pet shops.
Just remember there may be other reason for your cat coughing especially if it is prolonged. My cat has has hernia and for a long time the vet and us thought it was a case of hairball!

hope this helps,

Barbara

thankyou for your reply.

i will deff keep an eye on him if it does prolong then he's most certainly off to the vest.

he's slept all nite with me but wen he purrs he now gurgles (like wen we have a frog stuck in our throats)

he hasnt done the sick choking thing since last nite but im hopin oh wil take him out 2day see if the grass mite help.

I gave him a little butter last nite which he woolfed down lol he isnt off his food howver he is lickin the same place on his side time after time.

thankyou for your reply,

I get hairball paste and when any of mine start retching I give them some. They don't like it so I have to squeeze their mouths to have them take it but they do and it definitely helps. P@H sell it.

thanx, he seems to have stopped all signs now. i will deff get that paste for the future and keep my beady eyes on him.

it was an awful feelin, the highs and lows of bein a mammy lol
