My senior cat is suddenly coughing with her tongue out and black.

Question

Adopted a 14 year old Siamese from the shelter two months ago. Tonight she has had two coughing fits with her tongue sticking out, very upsetting. I think her tongue is black too. She has Feline Herpes I was told. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 14 years and 10 months old | 12 lbs

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection (inflammatory, allergic, infective). Allergic bronchitis/feline asthma could be one of the possible differentials as well. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
