Nope, no solution. Es still doing this and does it pretty much at least once a day. Have taken him to a new vet this past month who told me that in 30+ years of practice he had never heard of a cat doing this. He checked his throat for growth and irritation and there was nothing there and his...

Yes. He's been kinda stuffed up/congested since November when he was coughing and was all phelgmy sounding. The vet put him on steroids and antibiotics for a couple weeks and he got over his cough, but I don't think he's ever fully shaken the cold/URI and the congestion... I take him with me to...

What do you mean by "a tie back in the throat"? I am wondering if maybe he didn't swallow a piece of string from his toy...? There's a strong toy in cat tree, which he's already destroy, but the string was still there and he played with it occasionally, and I noticed last night that half the...

I have not yet. But when he first started doing this back in December, I told the vet and showed her a video and he had a chest x-ray done and there was nothing there. The vet and I suspect he had a URI back at the end of November/beginning of December when he was coughing up a storm and first...

Hey everyone, So, my cat has been doing this for a few months now, but he had stopped and now he's doing it again and I wanted to see if anyone else had had their feline companion do this. My cat goes and finds the edge of something (right now he's using the lowest rung of my clothes dryer...

Good news!! I gave Sherlock his third yolk today and he ate it all without ANY fortiflora (except for the very little bit and I enticed him to finish it with just a tiny sprinkle)!! He was so excited to have it, too. LOL!    And he seems much more active than he's been. And it doesn't seem like...

Also noticed fur loss behind his ear.... No black skin as of yet. 

Hi everyone! My cat seems determined to get every system in his body sick before his first birthday. First it was his respiratory system, then his gastrointestinal system, and now his skin. 2-3 weeks ago I realized that he was missing a little patch of fur on the back of his left hind leg...

I got the lecture from my vet too. I went in there while my cat was sick (pretty sure it was a URI but all he was doing was coughing and no runny nose/eyes/fever so who knows really) and asked her what she thought about feeding raw and got a whole lecture about how she doesn't recommend it...

Hello savvy raw feeders!  As some of you may know, I am slowly transitioning my kitty Sherlock back onto raw food after a week of non-stop regurgitation that was mostly likely onset by hairballs (thank you to everyone who commented on the other thread -- HUGE help!).   I also suspect he eats...

Aha!!! That make A LOT more sense    I caught Sherlock in the bathroom behind the door yesterday licking his lips again.   Hopefully a course of the slippery elm bark and continuous egg yolk will help.
