I feel really stupid asking this question. But as of yesterday, Lazlo is making a weird kind of coughing sound. It sounds like a kind of hacking noise - not quite a cough, not quite a sneeze - and he doesn't seem to be snotty.
None of our cats has ever had a hairball. Is this what that sounds like?
Because he's eating, drinking and basically acting like normal, we're thinking it's not a cold, it's a hairball.
We're just not quite sure what to do about it. We've called the vet - even though our specific vet isn't on duty today. It's just that Lazlo is on a restricted diet, and we can't feed him grass.
I don't know if he'll eat pumpkin - but if he does, do you think we should try that?
We're under the impression that the hairball treats don't really help?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!
Laurie
