I have a 12 year old Maine Coon in good health, who recently had his annual physical and all was well.
Because of his long hair, he is bothered periodically by hairballs and vomiting.
Recently he has developed a loud cough or wheeze that lasts about 30 seconds and then goes away. He is in no distress and if an attack comes while he is lying down, he doesn't even bother to get up.
These attacks are similiar to what a cat goes through when trying to cough up a hairball. Except in this case, there is no hairball and no vomit, just this loud cough or wheeze that goes away quickly.
I have had cats for over 30 years and never had one with this problem.
Any thoughts?
