Hello,
My cat Emily started gagging / vomiting right after she starts purring. I took her to the vet and they took blood (will have those results tomorrow) and xrays were clear. When they palpated her abdomen she expelled gas ("tooted" for lack of a better word) which the vet said is very uncommon in cats. So she must be taking in the air when she gags. She does sound a little nasally to me but her lungs are clear.
She is eating and drinking without vomiting. It just happens after she starts purring........ I feel so bad for her. The few times she did come by me and I started petting her she began to purr then gag. She has been hiding under the coffee table vs out and about as usual. Any thoughts? The next step would be an ultrasound of the abdomen and cost is an issue as its $650.00.
