Hello, I'm new here and have a question that is puzzling me.
Background: A few weeks ago I read that wet and dry food is the best diet for a cat to have. My cat is about 11 years old and I figured she could use the change in diet. She also seemed to have trouble chewing the hard food. So I began purchasing Friskies wet canned food. I don't know how I didn't predict it, but now its all she wants to eat. The previous owner dabbled in giving her wet food, but it didn't last.
I recently started mixing a bit of dry food whenever I give her the wet, which is 1 - 2 times a day, and leaving dry food out for her to munch on as she pleases.
Here's the problem, she has been gagging non-stop, as if she is coughing up a hair ball, but nothing is coming out. I don't know if it is her lack of dry food, the brand I am using, if I should feed her more, etc. I'm sure the list goes on. I am in need of help. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
