    Default Choking Kitty

    My poor big cat is hacking and gulping. Something is stuck down there and we can't get it all out.

    Per the internet, I lifted her up by her hind legs and pressed on her ribs. She hacked up a huge spit lougey. But she's still making the choking motion. Also per the internet, I gave her water and butter, which she ate. But still a bit of the gulping.

    She's in my lap right now and purring, so it looks like she'll be ok.

    Vet told me to watch her for the next hour. If she isn't better I can take her in tomorrow. If it gets worse, I have the number to the nearest animal hospital....

    Poor baby katya.

    Are you sure she's not coughing?

    One of my cats has asthma and coughs which looks JUST like the puking thing they do. At the end sometimes he even coughs something up. We know when it's puking or coughing with him because he breathes faster and heavier when it's asthma.

    Was she choking on a hairball? Poor baby, I'm sure she was scared.

    She's passed out hard in my lap right now, but if she moves, she makes that "choking/coughing/gagging" type of motion. I had to cancel my training session because I am worried.

    Call a vet Kat. That doesn't sound good. Is it like a wheezing or an actual cough?

    I spoke to vet. Its kind of a gagging motion, not much sound. She is cat-napping and breathing normally, but she has been doing the chokey-gag since last night, so I don't want to leave her again, as I will not be home again until after 8.

    Update: Katya is ok. She had a looooooong piece of grass wedged into her pharnyx. $530 bucksies later, she is safe at home, stoned off her ass from the anesthesia.

    To add to today's stress, the gas pump spewed gasoline all over me when I pulled it out of the tank.

    No matter, its a good week and I am blessed to have my babies, and all of your support.

    Thank you so much. I love and appreciate all of you.

    Un gran beso, Kat

    I don't what I would do without my cat. Glad you have your babies there and fully healthy now. Was your gas incident like this?
