I have a cat that is asthmatic and is on an inhaler. He sometimes has coughing fits due to his asthma. But I can tell the difference between his asthma coughs and when he has a hairball.
When he is having a coughing fit he gets low to the ground, keeps his mouth closed, and his coughs sound kind of airy.
When it’s a hair all cough he sits up, sticks out his tongue, hacks, and I can see his stomach kind of contracting.
Yesterday he was hacking as though he had a hair all but all that came out was a clear saliva like liquid. He has done this once before and I mentioned it to his vet but nothing was detected in his x-rays.
Is it possible he just thought he had a hairball or could it maybe be something else?
