Kitty Cougher Whoops Up, Too...
|
|
| |
Dear Dr. Baum --
My cat (age 13) has had a cough
for a while now, getting progressively
worse. It sounds wet, like mucus or some other fluid. If
she coughs
within three hours of eating, she throws up. Lately she has
been throwing
up several times a week. I'm worried about her, although she
exhibits no
ill effects otherwise. She's as playful as ever, and eats like
a horse.
What's wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Dear Tim--
There are several possibilities. It is important that your cat be
brought in for a physical examination. I would suspect that your cat
may be suffering from bronchial asthma - a condition that can be triggered
by allergies or infections. After your veterinarian performs a
physical exam he or she will probably suggest taking a chest x-ray which
should confirm the diagnosis.
Dr. Baum
