Hi all,
A couple months ago my husband and I brought a stray inside. We've been dealing with long-term (~7-8wks so far) chronic diarrhea with him and possibly food allergies (see this thread). He is currently on 2.5 mg/day of pred to help with the allergies/itch.
About a 1.5 weeks ago he started occasionally (maybe once every three days) looking like he had to bring up a hairball, but he never actually brought anything up at all. These last from 30 - 60 seconds and I am now wondering if we should be worried it is something else, like athsma. Here is a video of him during one of these episodes.
Our vet says feline athsma is rare and is not worried unless we see this happening more frequently, but honestly, it's a bit scary to watch since he never brings anything up. Thoughts? Should I push back?
Thanks all<3.
