This little cat has been coughing and choking for several weeks and this is what it looks like.
UPDATE: We had to take him to the hospital and he was on IV for a week. He never had a firm diagnosis and we thought it may have been asthma. He eventually got better on his own, but he had a hard time swallowing and purring. He is 100% now.
My cat is doing this and the vet said hairballs but I have had many cats and none of them ever made a hairball cough like this. My cat also seems like his pure is off. He's not himself. I'm concerned. This is not a normal hairball cough, its too loud and its too irregular. Hairball coughs usually require the cat to stand so the cat can puke out the ball and they don't last for days. My cat does this laying down too. :(

There is a shot given called "Dexamethazone" which now lasts 4-6 weeks (or longer) where NO additional pills are given. My cat gets it every year around Jan-Feb and once he gets that shot, he stops coughing within 3 days and doesn't cough the rest of the year. Be advised that every attack not only damages their lungs more and more, but also shortens their life expectancy. Good luck to all the kitties and doggies out there with this nasty condition.
