My cat quacks, gags after eating, won't eat or drink. What's wrong?

Question

My cat has been making this sound almost like a quack for a few days and gave, but hasn't spit anything up. It seems to happen more often after she eats. She hasn't been eating or drinking as much as she normally does. What could be the issue? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 8 months old | 9 lbs

She may be trying to vomit a hairball, or have a cold or sore throat. I give cat laxitive daily for several days to help pass a hairball, then once weekly for hairball prevention. If she has a cold they usually have some clear nasal and eye discharge. This a a virus so no medication is needed, it usually runs it’s course in a few days to a week. If she becomes ill and stops eating or drinking then I recommend a veterinary exam and treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Khaleesi.
