Hi.
I am new to this cat forum. I have 2 kitties Lukey and Pearl. Lukey is a year and a half Pearl is our new arrival. She is a 3 month old baby kitten we saved from off the side of the road. The poor thing's eye is so infected it looks like it's rotting out of her head. Needless to say, we immediately took it to the vet where she was tested for diseases, given shots and wormed. I wanted to make sure she was healthy to bring into my house and my other cat. I have been giving her anti biotics both in her eye and in her mouth for about a week now. It seems like she is recovering slowly but surely. I am trying to get the eye itself healthy so she won't have to have it removed, Although she will never see out of it.
Anyhoo, my other kitty Lukey has made this weird dry gagging noise for awhile now. The only way I describe it is like the sound a bunny makes when it is frightened. very high pitched, loud, and strange sounding. At first I though it was hairballs but I got her hairball meds and it is not going away, she still makes the sound and sometimes throws up. She also has very bad breath, even though I give her kitty treats that clean her teeth and freshens her breath. She swallows all the time and when she tries to throw up sometimes she just tries to swallow whatever it is that needs to come out, and succeeds. It is very disturbing for me, I love my kitty very very much. Other then that, she is active, hyper sometimes, looks healthy, has a shiney coat and a saggy belly. She seems fine except the disturbing gagging thing. I am taking her to the vet after the 1st of November, but in the meantime any suggestions, advise, or recommendations is very much appreciated.
I am glad to have people to discuss cat issues with, thanks alot!
