There is also a slight possibility that he may have an upper airway infection, in which a short course of antibiotics can clear. The vet will check for all these possibilities with diagnostic testing.

Oh my. He may have a foreign object stuck in his throat, or even a mass in the upper airway or esophagus is possible here. It is best to get him seen by your vet and have him evaluated first. He may also need to have some radiographs or an endoscopy done to check for any abnormal lumps or tumors. I wish you all the best with your pet Phenix and hope he feels better soon. Take care.
