Millie is gagging

[kittykatharine]

I agree that you should monitor her very closely. I also agree that you should probably take your baby to the vet, if anything to ensure it is not anything more serious. i would also keep a log of when your baby gags, so that your vet may be able to see if there is a pattern (e.g. I have heard of some cats gagging after drinking milk because they are lactose intolerant). It is always a good idea to keep a good record of what is going on when wierd things like this develop.

Hi all, thanks so much for your insight. I've not been able to get on since I posted this, but weirdly enough I haven't seen her gag since I posted. Go figure ... She is indeed heavy but she has been since her kitten days -- I have had her on measured food and vet-prescribed diet food at that -- the vet is really surprised that Millie is not losing any weight. She hasn't gained any more, so that part is good. She does not eat anything other than her vet-prescribed food nor any milk or anything else. Possibly hairball is what I'm thinking. But for right now with no gagging in the last few days I will wait this out and see, and if it starts again I will take her in. Thanks for all your concerns and glad to know Millie is so famous with her cat-in-sink photo!

That sink photo is PRICELESS! I hope Millie stays well.

Millie still OK?

[AlleyCat]

Still ok!

That's just murphy's law, isn't it? I wait a week or so to post that question about her gagging, and as soon as I do, she stopped! lol I hope it stays that way.

Maybe Millie has asthma....
