I'm used to dealing with Parker coughing up hairballs and stuff. I give him the hairball paste and it passes. However, this time, the problem is with Sami. She starts coughing sometimes when we pick her up. She'll do this for a few minutes and then stop. The last two times this happened, she almost got it up (I could see it in her mouth. Gross, I know) but then she swallowed it again. I've been giving her the paste every day to see if it helps, but she just keeps swallowing it, instead of just getting it out. Any ideas of what might help her pass it? The paste seems to help it up, but what good is it if she wont let it come out? I mean, if she has to go back to the vet, then so be it...but I'd rather try to deal with it here, if possible.
