We have a new to us pair of half grown kittens. This week, of them started "hacking" like it was trying to cough up a hair ball. I noticed a couple days ago that her purring is louder and rougher/rattlier than it was before, and her eyes seem to be a bit watery, although not running or dripping, and I don't see any matting of the eyes, and no runny nose.
Could she have something caught in her throat? Is there any home remedy I can give her to help her if it is a hair ball or cold? We cannot afford a vet bill right now, and I would like to help her. She is a great mouser.
I am new to the "pet" forum, but I tried googling her symptoms, and got way more info that did not pertain to her than was helpful. So I decided to ask here, since I've gleaned so much knowledge from the collective wisdom on other boards here, I was sure someone here could answer my question more directly. Thanks for any help you can offer.
