My cat is throwing up and making choking sounds. What should I do?

Question

Hi, my cat ate yesterday and ever since, he has thrown up and now he sounds like he’s trying to cough something up. He seems sick, but he’s eating fine and drinking. I have a video, it just looks like he’s about to sneeze and then he starts making choking/gasping sounds. Please help. My vet is away for July 4th. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years old | 12 lbs

Poor Logan. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
