Gagging Kitty

STRONG

My 12 year female cat started acting strangely today. I normally feed her wet food in the morning and evening. This morning she ate all of her food quickly so I gave a her a small amount of dry food to get her through the day. When I came home, I noticed she was occasionally gagging and rubbing her paws on her face/jaw line. Upon feeding her in the evening, she is obviously hungry but when she takes a bite she begins gagging and rubbing. I even noticed her gagging and rubbing after she was bathing herself. I am planning on taking her to the vet tomorrow but just wondered if you have any ideas of what may be the issue?


Hi,

Dentals problems or something stuck in her mouth or throat would be most likely. It's also possible an insect bit or stung her. Please let me know what you found out.

Good luck, Thank you,
