Afternoon bath time

 

My cat just started making this “coughing” sound. At least that’s the best way I can describe it. I tried researching causes. I’m paranoid I have to take him back to the vet. He was in er for a few days last week. I just want my baby to be ok. I’m worried. He’s all that I have.

 

Is it a dry cough or wet cough? Is he coughing on the inhale or the exhale? What age is he?

 

I think I've heard that coughing a few days after surgery is normal.

 

Not sure. I don’t know how to tell. He’s only done it a couple of times. The first time I heard him he was eating and I thought he was chocking. He’s almost 3

 

Hmm I was going to say maybe asthma if it was on the exhale, but if you’ve had him for three years, I feel like that is a little unlikely, unless you have moved recently.

I’d try to get a recording of it, and take him and that to the vet. I noticed someone said he was recently in the ER for surgery? That could also be the cause.

idk if you’re with petsmart or not, but if you are, and are on the plan, it doesn’t hurt to take him in with a video

 

He was there for a bladder block. He was just on a catheter. Thankfully surgery not needed! The problem is it would be hard to get a video unless he does it more frequently. I don’t know when it’s coming. I need to take him in for a follow up in a couple weeks, but i don’t want him to get worse and have to go sooner

 

Yeah I understand, coughing is very hard to get evidence of. It took us like two months to get a video of our cat doing it. Hopefully you can get evidence and take him in, and hopefully it is something minor and temporary!

 

Was he given any anesthesia? Because that's what sometimes causes a mild cough in my cats.

 

Yes. He didn’t start the cough until days after tho. At least that I heard.

 

Chester just hanging out keeping me company

 

Chester looks like he had a lopsided toupee but I wouldn't wanna tell him.

 

Chester saw an opportunity and he took it

 

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a Buttercup picture. She’s the sweetest cat and she’s sassy as hell, adopting her was the best decision.

 

From a couple months ago, our newest cat, Atta, got stuck in a bag and it was so tight we had to cut it off her! But not before snapping this photo

 

Normal

Great cat content this morning

Trouble makers.

 

Somebody’s a little chilly.

 

Somewhat similar to one of my cats, Atta, from a couple months ago!

 

"Just leave me alone and let me sleep!"

 

I don’t have as many photos of Stripes as my other 2 which is a shame because he’s super cute!

 

Just the tail
