I've taken her to the vet who just gave her anti nausea pills. I haven't given them since the anti-nausea shot did nothing and I'm trying to avoid traumatizing her. She's 15 and has stable stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Her latest blood work from two weeks ago shows that her kidney values look...

I should add that I had taken him to 5 appointments about his cough before meeting this vet.

I appreciate your advice. Thank you. My new plan of action: * Get the x-rays * Take him + x-rays to another place which specializes in just cats Hopefully they'll be able to figure it out. The bronchoscopy just sounds so invasive for his age.

This is awesome. Thank you! We counted his chilling-and-relaxing-but-not-asleep breaths last night. He was at 25/minute. His coughs look very much like asthma. I've thought that for a year, but the vet didn't think it was likely. I'll press them on that point and see if they'll hand over the...

Thank you! He spent the first half of his life living in a smoker's house, but nothing since. I burn candles once every few months, but stopped. We don't use air fresheners. His "sibling" also lives in the house. They've spent their entire lives together. Both are indoor.

My cat is 14-years-old. He's had a cough for a year. It used to sound a bit like a hairball. Since the winter, it's been more wet sounding. His regular vet, a radiologist, and an internal specialist can't figure out why he keeps coughing. Timeline: A year ago, I took him to the vet. The vet...
