When a cat coughs, the pet owner should not consider it an illness on its own, but a possible symptom of a health issue. If you ever notice your beloved furry feline friend coughing, you should consider observing him and later on bring him to your preferred vet to get a quick checkup.
Cough can be brought about by a host of possible reasons, so you need to carefully identify the hidden cause so the right treatment or medication can be given immediately. For cats, vomiting often follows coughing.
The following are the typical causes of coughing:
The respiratory passageway is irritated: the most typical causes are foreign bodies, irritant gases or inhaled liquids
Feline asthma: severe cases of feline asthma would likely include wheezing. Asthma is a chronic medical condition that is said to have no effective treatment
Inflammation of the airways which is typically induced by irritation, but might also be due to an infection (viral, parasitic, bacterial, or fungal)
Nasopharyngeal polyps: usually found at the back of the throat
Bring your pet to your animal hospital Gresham, OR if he is coughing or showing other signs of potential illness.
