When my kitten wakes up he does a very dry cough for about 30 seconds or so then seems he is fine. Same small cough when he yawns. When I listen to his lungs they seem fine

My cat only starts coughing & wheezing when the temperatures outside start to drop. We've entered into Fall and it's begun. He doesn't experience coughing & wheezing everyday it's intermittent lasting anywhere from 5- 20 mins. He is otherwise a healthy cat strictly kept inside unless carried outside but never coming in contact with any other animals.

I adopted a feral abused 4yr old male about 1yr ago from a shelter where he'd been caught and dropped off. He was pretty much "un-adoptable" as he is terrified of people, hide in his cage and wouldn't let anyone touch him. Its taken a year but he doesn't hide anymore isn't afraid of being near me but still becomes terrified if my hand goes near him...the reason Im telling you all this will be clear in a moment. He's developed a wet sounding cough in the last wk. I believe its productive you can hear the change in the cough but I think it's become more frequent today. My problem is how to get him to the vet plus knowing that he will not let the vet (or me) try to handle him once there...His name is Jupiter he's come so far in a year I don't know how to accomplish this with him.

My 2 year old male orange tabby has coughed twice since we moved into a new apartment. It’s been 2 months and he’s coughe once a month. The first time I thought it was the dust because there was a lot of dust in the apartment but now I’m wondering if it is something worse or just allergies from a new environment. The coughing is dry and lasts less than a minute. Nothing is expelled during the coughing. He doesn’t seem to have a fever or any other symptoms

My cat has a non-productive cough that lasts up to a minute and stops, sometimes it sounds like he is trying to cough up a hairball because he makes a gulping motion. No mucus, no watery eyes or nose. It is more wet than dry sounding. Sometimes when he is leaning over his cat tree he triggers a similar cough, but sometimes it starts when he is doing nothing. I am worried it is heartworm because he goes outside occaisionally, although I try to stay up to date with the preventive medication. This has been going on for at the very least over a year. Sometimes it is more frequent sometimes I forget about it because I do not see him do it for weeks or a month.

Watching my cat cough and seem to try and get something out of her throat , is frightening to watch. It’s like she’s possessed And after her last cough ; not only does her tongue extend out pretty far but also looks like her last breath of air. I’m very helpless watching her

My cat would have a coughing fit when she was startled! Don't laugh, but one of my others took pleasure in jumping out from behind corners to get this reaction. She would also cough when it was dry, or when she had exerted herself. For almost three years I did everything the vet said, treating it as a hairball, even though I firmly believed it was asthma. When I found a vet qualified to read a chest xray, I discovered I was right. Two weeks on prednisone and the coughing stopped. She's on a maintenance dose of 2.5 mg a week, and we're stretching it to every 10 days. If you know in your gut that what you're being asked to do isn't working for your pet, question it, and if you have to, find a new doctor!
