My cat is hacking wetly from her stomach for two days. What's wrong?

Your cat Felix is nauseated and trying to vomit. If this has been going on for some time, or if he is very lethargic and not himself, he may be very seriously ill. I recommend a vet visit right away for blood work and X-rays of his belly to see what is making him sick, and if he needs emergency supportive care like surgery and IV fluids.

It would be honestly hard to say without an exam. Some possible causes could be a food-based one (IE an allergy to an ingredient in the wet food that is causing a reaction after eating it) or a functional one such as a problem with the esophagus or digestive tract's ability to move the food through the body (something very common in cats). An exam would be a good idea to help rule out these causes through either some testing such as X-rays, or through a food trial to see if an ingredient can be ruled out. Until you can get to your vet, offering smaller meals more frequently may help with keeping food down and minimizing discomfort after eating.

Cats throw up for several reasons including underlying kidney disease, an upset stomach, heart disease, or even an infection. The next best step is to take Minnie to your vet for a thorough exam and some diagnostic testing to help determine the underlying cause. Once we know what the cause of her cough is, then we can devise a treatment plan to hopefully get her better soon. I wish you all the best moving forward with Minnie and hope that she feels better soon! Take care.

Indica may have a hairball she is trying to get rid of, so generally it is a good idea to regularly feed hairball remedy or a cat food with hairball remedy, especially if your kitty lives indoors only. Of course there may be another cause for this, such as an upper respiratory disease, a gastric problem, or a foreign body stuck in the trachea or esophagus or laryngitis. As you can see there are many possible causes, and you are doing the right thing by taking her to your veterinarian today.

While a hairball could cause vomiting I wouldn't expect diarrhea or coughing. A true cough can be a sign of asthma or a respiratory infection. If he can't rest at night and his appetite is affected I'd recommend making an appointment with your veterinarian. They may recommend an x-ray of his chest and abdomen.

Coughing is a very vague symptom that can be part of a number of illnesses. Heartworm (if not tested/on a preventive), respiratory disease, herpesvirus, upper respiratory infections, foreign bodies in the throat or nasal passageways, lung and heart issues can all produce a persistent or wet cough. It is best to schedule a veterinary exam ASAP to help find the underlying cause to Sweet Pea's symptoms, especially if he is refusing to eat or drink.

constant hacking could be a sign of acute nausea, that can be caused by a gastrointestinal infection, pancreatitis, foreign body in the intestines and many other diseases. you will need to take Leo to the vet in order to get him checked, he will probably need a blood test done and possibly an xray too in order to reach a diagnosis.
