Video 2012-2017 - Cat Maui Cough Wheeze

Maui is unwell. She has been coughing but we do not know what exactly is wrong. 

We suspect ingestions of hairball. These are videos of her coughing, a collection of videos for the Vet to diagnose. She's been on intense hairball removal nibbles but she is still coughing. We also try to brush her often. We will continue to brush her more often.

Maui cannot breathe! We brought her to Dr Landon at 10.30am, came home at 12noon.
Her attack was 20 Feb 2017  at 4.20pm and 7pm

Admitted her back to Amber Vet.  But Dr Lau didn't administer anything.
Luckily Dr Song gave her Oxygen Therapy and Fluid Therapy on 21 Feb 2017 morning which helped. Vit B japs also seemed to help.

Preparation for Ultrascan: Maui be shaven at the chest area and be tested with ultra sound & biopsy to find out if she may have asthma, lungworms, heartworms or tumor growth in my chest region that's been causing narrowing of trachea causing difficulty in breathing. Maui was stressed and feisty during UltraSound (as usual). Doctor managed to clip her nails till the last hind leg, but had to sedate her to complete it plus the ultra sound. Collected her at 4.30pm. Maui was anxious to be home, and ate well at 6pm onwards. I continued to feed her Antibiotic and Theophylline.
