Hello I'm new to this forum I have owned several cats in the past but recently adopted an approximately 9 year old male DSH. He has some mobility problems with his back legs(was that way when I got him) and was seen by a vet less than a month ago. He had blood work done and got a clean bill of health. He did have a slightly elevated liver value but the vet said it was fine and if I was really worried to get it rechecked in 6 months. My concern is on Saturday he started gagging and wheezing and drooling I called the emergency vet and they didn't answer by the time they called me back he seemed fine so I thought maybe it was just a fluke. He had been eating normally and playing, but today he seems lethargic and isn't eating his wet food which he usually scarfs down(holistic natural chicken). He is not overweight and doesn't have any health conditions that I know of except he doesn't poop as often as I think he should probably about every other day but he gets wet food and has a flowing water dish to encourage him to drink. He also has had a weird coughing thing he's done since I got him. I'm really worried but am not sure if he's fine and I'm just being paranoid as he just got a clean bill of health or if something is actually wrong. The coughing goes on for about a minute and occurs at least once a day. Video attached for reference. If anyone has any ideas or any advice I'm mostly just trying to figure out if I should get a second opinion from a vet or what specifically I should ask them to look for.
