Cat Coughing / Sneezing

Hiya,

When we came home on Thursday, our cat was making a funny noise. When we went to see him he was coughing and managed to bring up some foam. Since then he has still been coughing and sneezing but hasn't been sick since.

He is still eating happily and going outside as normal, which is why we haven't been too concerned. However, the coughing sounds really sore.

Is there anything wrong with him and is there anything we can do to help, or does he need medication?

Thanks for you help

    Hi there, The fact that Angus goes outside makes me a bit concerned that he may have some sort of upper respiratory tract infection. Another thing that could cause this behaviour is a foreign body stuck in his respiratory tract.I would definitely consider taking him to your vet, at which time he may be prescribed some antibiotic if he/she deems it necessary! Best of luck!
