Hi there, my kitten Sansa has just passed the 6 month mark and just recently got spayed (about 2 weeks ago) since then most times when she purrs she begins to jerk her head forward like she is about to gag, and lets out a cough looking like she is going to throw up a hairball or something.
She had coughing issues a couple months back, sometimes when she would eat too fast, but we had brought her to the vet then and they didn't find anything.
But recently the coughing/gag has been very frequent as she is a kitten that purrs even when you look in her general direction (she purrs and meows a lot!) and it seems that the purring is a trigger for the cough.
Even sometimes when she is I the middle of her coughing spell when she tries to meow it sounds like something is blocking the way and only part of her meow can come out.
We will be taking her to the vet soon (within the next couple days, it's just work is killer and there hasn't been time) but I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or something similar with their cat.
Thanks!
