My cat, maybe once or twice a day (while I'm in and awake), does the actions a cat does before they throw up (head close to floor, completely straight, noises etc...).


But he never vomits.

Is this normal?

 

[spid]

No not normal - I suggest a vets visit - sounds like he might have something stuck in his throat.

 

[CatAttack]

He's perfectly fine immediately afterwards though, as if nothing even happened.

 

[spid]

Doesn't make it normal.

 

[CatAttack]

I suppose so.
I'll have to do it if you think it could be as serious as that.

Any idea on how much it will cost?
How much do they usually charge just to look at a cat and how much will they charge to actually get anything in his throat out?

 

[spid]

I guess you aren't registered at a vets then? I would say if you are worried enough to post on a forum of strangers about it - it's worth a vets visit. It might not be anything at all, or it might be - who knows. Cost depends on your area -
my vets charge £25 for a consultation and drugs would be extra. In London we were charge £45 for a consultation, in Scotland £11!!!!

ok, thanks for your help.

May I just say that you have provided the fastest responses of anybody I have ever came across on a forum - and I attractively live on forums.
Thank you

Sorry - that made me laugh!!!! Guess it's a predictive text typo.

haha, I meant practically.

How did I manage to mistype it to that?! I'm using a PC for typing this so no auto-correct lol

To be honest, its quite impressive

Can only echo the advise to see a vet for a check up, how old is your cat?

Hi,

This sounds possibly more like coughing than vomiting if he's flat against the ground, but whatever it is, as it is happening every day (and maybe several times a day) he really needs a check up at the vets ASAP to be on the safe-side as this is not normal.

Prices vary for a check-up, maybe around £30. Ring around for quotes. How much after that would depend on what the problem is. The problem could be sorted with just the one visit.

There are two or three vets near me so I'll ring them all, thanks for suggesting it.

have you recently just got your cat then??

No, I've just forgot
I'm pretty sure he's 7

I worry to ask this,.,.as he is seven....is he registered at a vets and has he been seen at a vets for jabs etc...just the way in which you asked how much a check up would be..i wondered if you had only just got the cat..i hope I am wrong..

 

[CatAttack]

He is registered at a vets and he has had jabs.

He just hasn't been for something like this for a long time.

The vomit action is kind of similar to this (not as harsh and rough sounding though).
