I have a 9yr old female cat in excellent health. She began stress grooming after I got another cat. She's always had hairballs so I give her "paw gel" every day. The stress grooming has calmed but she still cleans enough that I've kept up with the paw gel. Within the last 4-5 weeks she has begun to have what I've always thought was a hairball coughing session, at least 1-2 times every day. The sound is a high pitched wheezing cough. I give her paw gel 2x each day now as well as a probiotic gel. Nothing has really helped. She only throws-up a hairball maybe every 7-10 days, and she eats & poops normally every day.
Should I be worried? She seems perfectly happy after the coughing - just gets back to whatever she was doing before. I can't afford the Vet unless it's really necessary. I would appreciate any thoughts/ ideas.
Thanks, Carole
