Thanks again everyone. Well the vet I saw really didn't know how to treat him so he's still suffering with his gagging cough attacks. We were going to do an ultrasound on him but there was no one available to do one so he had x-rays taken instead. His x-rays looked normal except that he's swallowed a lot of air. His tummy is full of air which would also make him feel very uncomfortable. My regular vet is just too busy these days and she's the feline specialist. I'm supposed to talk to this vet in the morning and let her know if Blaze is still having problems. If so then I need to drop him off for further testing. My vet will be there and she said that she'd make the time to do the tests on him. I can tell it's going to be a sleepless night for me. Please continue sending prayers and positive vibes his way. Thanks.

Thanks again everyone. Around 7pm he threw up some yellow liquid with a tiny amount of fur in it. It was too small to even call it a hairball though. I was hoping that he'd be better after this episode. He later ate some dinner which was some canned food mixed with some dry. He didn't finish it all but he ate most of it and he was later trying to swallow a lot again. Maybe he has a sore throat. I tried looking up symptoms of sore throats in cats and it did say gagging and swallowing frequently are some which is what he's been doing. It also said that drooling, gulping, and reluctance to eat are symptoms too and a sore throat is a sign of an URI. He doesn't seem to have an URI though. I'm getting so frustrated by not knowing what's wrong with him and I hate having to watch him do the gag cough.

I can't wait until Tuesday for Alani to be seen. He's coughing more frequently and he didn't eat all of his dinner. I made an appt. for him tomorrow at 7:30am. I'm pretty sure that he has the same thing that Blaze has. I sure hope that none of my other cats will get this. Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Will this nightmare ever end.

I let both boys out of the bathroom today and they were so excited. They were running around sniffing everything and also trying to rub up against my other four cats who didn't like this too much. Blaze started chirping in delight and he's totally back to normal now. Alani is doing much better and I haven't heard him coughing at all today. He may still be a little bit congested though. Blaze is finished with his medicince and sub-q fluids but Alani still has a while to go with his medicine and I hope to be able to continue giving him sub-q fluids until Wed. Now Sky, Blaze, and Alani still need to go back to see my vet for a recheck. So far my four other cats are doing well and I hope that I'll finally have healthy cats for a long time to come. Thanks again everyone for all of the prayers and positive thoughts.
