My cat has been gagging like she is going to puke almost every other day but nothing is coming out. And one time she was breathing loudly like she was stocked up. Is she ok.

My cat is a year old, and over the last two months he’s been dry heaving at random. I’ve noticed it happens when he comes too close to products like nail polish, hair spray, or flavored food powders (for humans). However, he also has retched a few times where I couldn’t identify a source. Two of those times he produced a fluid. He’s a DSH who sheds a lot. I try to brush him at least every other day and he has toys he can scratch his body on. What can I do to help him be more comfortable (aside from moving to another room to do my nails or hair)? Any idea if this is a hairball or something that needs medical attention? Thank you so much!

My cat will get random choking episodes that last about a minute or two. Sometimes she will have these episodes several times a day, but she usually has them at least once every day. Also, she weighs about 13 pounds. I’m getting very concerned for her safety and health.

We recently adopted a kitten with feline respiratory issues. She's on medication, however our other younger cat started acting lethargic and had silent meows for a few days. After this though her meow came back. Now within the same week my elderly cat (10 years) is dry heaving, puking, and only going for wet food. It may be important to add she is pretty obese (despite numerous efforts to keep her on a healthy diet) and doesn't normally pass up on any opportunity to eat. I'm continuing to give her wet food twice a day to keep her hydrated but I'm not sure what I should do. Is this something that would clear up on it's own similar to my other younger cat? And is it something the kitten brought in? We had the kitten 2 weeks prior to these symptoms. Also, she's been showing these symptoms of dry heaving for the past 48 hours.

My cat was a black stray kitten when we found him. He has no shots, no neuter, and no declaw. He was found in 2017 I believe which would make him 2 years old almost or 1 year 1/2. We took him in and he still has not had shots, neutering, or declaw due to money issues. I did deworm him because of round worms found in his stool since then no more round worms. Anyway he has started becoming very sexually active with his bed he lays in. Well every since we have noticed a dramatic change in him. All of a sudden he has lost interest in all foods except snacks which now he won't touch that much. He hardly drinks. He is extremely skinny almost like a skeleton. He lays around and sleeps alot. He still does the sexual thing with the bed from time to time, but that's been slacking down. He's been dry heaving with a high pitch whine when he does it. We don't know if he's picked up something from the bed cause he bites on it when doing the sexual thing. We don't know if he's got some other disease, worms, depression, we really don't know, but he is near dead. I can't take him to the vet because of money issues plus my work place won't let me off for a sick cat. Don't know what's going on. I miss my little ball of fur I fell in love with. He won't even hardly let us hold him since this all started. Any ideas please let me know. Every food we throw at him he just won't touch dry or wet and won't drink much if at all.

My 2 year old tabby has had dry retching a few times during the past six months. I took her to the vet and he gave her an injection which did not seem to have any effect. The visit and injection cost £60 about $80. She was a stray when she decided to move in and after trying all the lost cat sites for a few months, with no result, we decided that she would be staying. She had already been spayed but not chipped so we had that done as well as giving her a course of injections having no idea if she had already had them. At first she would not stay in but now is very reluctant to go out, I think some of this is to do with a pair of local cats which are very friendly but she is having none of it. She eats well enough both dry and wet food and drinks plenty of water, however I have noticed that on the times she has gone out she is drinking from puddles. Could this be a source of her vomiting? She mostly has a bout of this early mornings and it can last for an hour or so but produces nothing is the way of vomit but occasionally clear liquid about a teaspoon full. She is not exactly an ajile cat prefering to sleep most of the time but the bouts of vomiting does not seem to cause her any distress once it is over. She has not produced any hair balls
