We will see a vet but for now I need ideas. Dont have $1000 spare dollars in my couch to be exploratory as opposed to result oriented
My cat did this, now has an inhaler, doesn’t do it anymore. The asthma meds aren’t super expensive ($40 every two months or so) but you will need a prescription (or you do in my country.)
You can buy the inhaler tube bit for pretty cheap online:
What is the actual generic name of the mediCATion?
Unsure. My thing says: Flovent hfa 125 mcg Fluticasone prop 125 mcg
Ya fluticasone is the green nose thing for humans at the pharmacy and inhalers etc. Thank you!
You’re welcome, hope it helps!
Could you expand on even when relaxed?
One of my cats goes through the hairball motions occasionally, but I think he catches the hairball in his mouth and swallows it again because I never see the result
So like she’ll be sprawled out and laying down and I can see her tummy/abdomen and it lightly contracts in a hiccupy/contractiony kind of way, gently.
My dog dry heaves sometimes. It looks like he’s gonna throw up but nothing comes out. I asked the vet and he said that it’s probably eating stuff he shouldn’t (which makes sense, he has a bad habit of grabbing stuff off the ground and trying to eat it on our walks)
God I hope its some dum shit like this (her eating random nonsense)
But what if its like often in a day?
Mine is like once every week or two.
It used to be hairballs or clear fluid but now its otent or almost always nothing
Maybe some coconut oil would ease her throat? Or she could have asthma or something
So, to update, I notice when shes laying sprawled out on a blanket on my lap she has an almost permanent slight tensing contraction on the breath in. Like a fish’s gills or like its very rapid/jerky on the in-breath, I think
