Unfortunately the symptoms you have described could be caused by many things. Without being able to perform a physical exam on Fluffy it is is very hard for me to tell you what exactly could be going on. If Fluffly ate something he should that got stuck, he may need surgery to remove it from his stomach or intestines. The gagging and wheezing could mean that something is stuck, that there is an infection, or even something stuck in his throat. The not wanting to jump up could indicate belly pain or pain in his back or legs. Continue to monitor Fluffy for eating, drinking, urination, and bowel movements. If he is not feeling better in 24-48 hours, he really needs to see a vet.
