    Is this asthma or was he chocking on something?

    Hi, My sphynx is now 8 months old and today my husband and I caught this on camera. It started out of nowhere and ended shortly after he jumped off the box. Has anyone seen this before? Is it asthma? Was he coughing? And why was his mouth bubbling? I would say he ate 2 hours prior, so it...

    Sphynx cat coughing and retching occassionally

    Mochi occassionally does this cough but seems okay otherwise. We've taken him to the vet before about it and they've done an xray and ultrasound and didnt find anything. The doctor said it could be seasonal and possibly allergies or feline asthma. He gave us antibiotics for a cold and sent us...

    Persistent cough

    Hi! I thought I’d try my luck on here before potentially going down the specialist route and spending thousands of £s, as I know there are some really knowledgable sphynx owners on here who may have some answers. Albus is 4 years old and has had a persistent cough for maybe 1.5-2 years. As a...

    Coughing/Wheezing

    Hi! I’m very new to this forum, but I’ve been to so many vets and no one can really help me with a cause/remedy for my boy’s coughing. He has HCM, and has been having reverse sneezing fits since I got him when he was a young kitten a year ago. They used to be every other week, then progressed to...

    Coughing - hacking

    Hi everyone- so we have had a rough few months. We brought home Lola- she was sicker than the breeder let on- Eye Infection. URI, Giardia - but we got her healthy and thriving. On the other hand, poor Eleven has had to deal with all the similar issues. We had to put her on a strong triple...

    Sphynx wheezing cough

    Occasionally my 8 year old male Sphynx will have cough attacks where he will stretch his neck out and start wheezing. I took him to the vet and they could not find anything wrong with him. They even did x-rays. Does anybody else's Sphynx do this and do you know why??

    6 month old Sphynx Coughing

    Hi, My kitten is coughing and I am not sure what to do. She sounds like she is trying to get up a hair ball but since they are hairless its odd. She doesnt do it all of the time, just about once a day. I heard her cough several times after eating/drinking late last night. Any ideas what...

    Coughing or Wheezing?

    Bynx has always coughed or wheezed, at least even since I can remember. I'm actually not sure what to call it? He extends his neck and makes this god awful noise. I have tried to watch videos of cat's coughing or wheezing but none of them sound the same. I am just worried it could be HCM. I have...
