Last night, my cat woke me up with a dry, wheezy kind of cough. At first I thought he was throwing up a hairball, but he didn't. He did it a couple of times within a 2 hour period and that was it.
My question is this: 3 weeks I brought home a new cat with an upper respiratory infection. HE didn't have a cough, but sneezes. I kept him segregated from my resident cat until his sickness was gone (he was taking Clavamox). They've been hanging around together (no segregation) for about a week, but he's no longer sick. Could my resident cat have caught an URI from my old cat? Is a cough a symptom of URI?? Or...could my resident cat just have a little cough from the changing weather??
Thanks!!
