So recently, my kitten Sherman has been doing some kind of hacking sound at random. He will do it right out of his sleep for a minute or so and then stop and be fine. Nothing seems to come up when he does this. Otherwise he's be acting normally, eating fine, drinking water, playing and snuggling. Would this be a hairball that he just can't get up? While I've had Luna for almost 4 years, she has never done this, had hairballs and only thrown up once (and I was only there to see the product.)
How do I know if I have to get him on hairball meds or something? I can't really afford to actually take him in for an appointment for the vet to tell me "oh it's fine". I called my vet today but he wasn't in and the front desk person wouldn't give me any advice. I'm going to call again tomorrow. but in the meantime does anyone have an suggestions or advice?
Thanks!
