Hello all I just got back from the vet. The vet suspects hairball or something soft stuck in her throat. He inspected her stomach and couldnt find anything hard inside except that its very compact. That's because she ate before going to the vet. So his assumption was that even if something is stuck, it would be soft, hopefully hairballs only. Since Merkey's stool is normal, he went on and checked further. He also inspected her mouth, teeth and gums and find everything of her healthy. Her pulse as well.

Surprisingly, the vet gave my cat a TUNA flavoured lubricant. It's weird but I had to take it. This lubricant is in gel like form which I have to feed my cat with for a week and observe. If things persists or get worse, they have to perform an X-ray on Merkey.

On food advice, he actually suggested canned food rather than biscuits. He claimed Merkey is bright and alert and shows interest for food (tested that too). On my side I tried my best to explain what Merkey went through but was assured that she is healthy except for her vetching and choking behaviour.

Hopefully it will really be just hairballs and go away. Thanks to ALL of your replies. I used every advice from your replies and asked the vet regarding it and good answers were given like taking care of her gums, teeth and the right choice of food.

Lets pray for Merkey and all cats in the world to be safe. *prays*
