My cat is coughing and making gagging noises. What should I do?

Question

Hi, I adopted two sister cats and they have been healthy but recently one of my kitties has been couching and almost sounds like she’s gagging? I’ve never had cats before, and I’m a little nervous since I don’t know exactly what’s wrong or if she perfectly fine and I just don’t know. thank you!

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic tracheitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but 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.
