Why Does My Cat Cough Sometimes
I would just like to share my story and propose something that worked for us always following the vets advice which is the no1 priority at all times.
Why does my cat cough sometimes. It is normal to cough every now and then. Sometimes it may be necessary to run a few tests or carry out an MRI or CT scan or take an x-ray or ECG Echocardiogram if the cause of your cats cough is not immediately obvious. A lot of people are asking why my cat is sneezing because it is more frequent or there are other signs as well.
She is a medium haired brown tabby and she is so sweet and cuddly. Cat sneezing along with wheezing can suggest concurrent lower respiratory disease. Just like with sneezing coughing can be a sign of a respiratory infection.
When your cat does cough there is either inflammation or irritants within their throat airway or lungs. Sometimes it will be because she has a virus. Pressure on your cats windpipe can cause damage and lead to a cough.
This is the cat equivalent of the common cold and is sometimes known as cat flu. We discover the most common causes and see what treatment options are available. There are a number of reasons why cats cough but unfortunately for the cats we humans tend to think its nothing but a furry throat and we just ignore it and get on with our lives.
Coughing is the way we rid our respiratory tract of irritants like dust and mucus. Thank you keep reading. It should not be confused with gagging.
It can also be feline herpes virus. A cough is an expiratory effort producing a sudden noisy expulsion of air from the lungs. Causes of coughing can range from mild to severe.
