| Is it like a cough or like a cat hacking up a fur ball? You might try to video on your cell and call your vet. It could be any number of things. I would at least call my vet if it were me.

| I would take him to the vet and find out for sure. Could be several things but I would want to know what you might be dealing with. Good luck and hope its not CT or anything but something minor. |

| By all means 1st if you have a phone with a recorder, try and record it. That way when you see the vet, you can have something for them to hear should your little furball not cough. Good luck. |

| Scooter was doing that when I first brought him home and I took him to the vet and he had kennel cough. Antibiotics cleared it right up but if left untreated it can be serious.

| Hope he gets feeling better. It does sound like it could be a cough. Is he doing it very often? |
