Cat jerking head forward and gagging
24, United States, No vet yet this is my second day with her, I just recently adopted a cat. The shelter didn’t report any medical abnormalities. She has started doing this thing where she has one big cough, like she’s about to have a hairball, followed by mini gags and jerking her head forward almost like a rooster. She then immediately returns to normal behavior. It happens about every 3-4 hours. Could she just have a hairball stuck? Has anyone experienced this before or know the cause? Please help! She is female, 5 years old.
