Hello my kittys name is Esmerelda and she is my little princess. I recently moved in with my girlfriend and my kitty started coughing. I thought it was "hairball cough" but my girlfriend assured me that it wasn't. She took her to the vet and Esmerelda stressed out and this is what she told me. " Esmerelda started freaking out and her tounge turned blue, and her nose lost all color. The vet told me that she would most likely die today, he put her in a O2 tent and she relaxed and recovered." The vet took an X ray and said that her lunges were screwed up and gave her a shot of antibiotics, and a week supply of oral drops (antibotics). In addition to this he said that the x-ray showed that she had a "pinched" Trakei (can't spell). I don't understand that one but the X-ray did give that impression. She seems to be getting better but the coughing doesn't stop. Especially at night sounds like me when I had Bronchidus. Any advise honestly I love her but I can't afford kitty surgery. Especialy when sick animals tend to form a pattern of illnesses.
