My cat is tired and coughing after cattery. What should I do?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years old

HI. My cat has been in the cattery for 10 days, I picked her up on Friday. Since then I have noticed she is very tired and is coughing. It's as if she has a hairball, but nothing comes out. What should I do?

If the coughing is a new thing that started after she came back from the cattery, there is a fair chance that she caught an infection while staying there. i would recommend taking Maggie to the vet tomorrow in order to get it checked, if it is an infection she will need a course of antibiotics in order to get back to good health.
