Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your cat's coughing, sneezing, and gagging episodes. It sounds like this has been worrying for you both!
These symptoms in cats can be due to a range of issues, such as respiratory infections, allergies, asthma, or even a foreign object stuck in the throat. Since you have an appointment coming up, you're on the right track to getting this sorted out. In the meantime, here are a few at-home care tips:
1. Make sure your home is dust-free and consider using an air humidifier to help ease any breathing difficulties.
2. Try to identify any new cleaning products or air fresheners that might be irritating your cat, and eliminate them if possible.
3. Ensure your cat has plenty of fresh water available and encourage them to stay hydrated, as this can help ease throat irritation.
Keep an eye on a few key signs that indicate a trip to the vet might need to be sooner rather than later. If you notice your cat having difficulty breathing, displaying a bluish tint to their gums, or they’re showing significant lethargy, please seek immediate veterinary care.
To gain more insights into what's happening, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. It’ll allow us to see what you're experiencing firsthand and advise you further.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
