Tiger was still barfing this morning and eating very little, except she was obviously feeling better. However, about 9 AM she began to hack and cough again, that was when I noticed a green thing sticking out of her nose. Guess what!, there was a 3" blade of grass that she got lodged in her sinus. This is the reason why the vet said "if there is no improvement in her in about 5 days, let me know" ( He said this because the exact nature of her illness did not definitely show up during his analysis) Also, such a situation defied detection, as it was hidden between her nostrels and throat. Anyway, I pulled it out. She ate up nearly 1/2 (small) can of cat food, and the barfing and hacking has totally stopped. The blade of grass was irritating her nose passage and throat. The vet's analysis was correct but he suspected the wrong cause, which I do not fault him for. Frankly folks, I was getting worried about her because everything we all tried on her did not bring the desired results. Anyway, I'm certainly glad that she is back to normal now.
