My kitten coughs after drinking water?

Question

I have taken her to the vet a few times for check ups etc and the vet says she is fine. But about 90% of the time after she drinks water she does this dry heaving cough like thing for about 30 seconds. She never coughs up hairballs and I was just wondering if this was normal? It is ONLY after drinking water...

Answer 1

He migt be allergic to it, try giving him milk instead and see what happens when he drinks that.

Otherwise take him to the vets and tell them what hes been doing.

Answer 2

This could mean, she has drunk it to fast?

Answer 3

she might drink 2 fast as she it rearly thirsty but i have 4 cats and 2 kittens and none of them done that

we just leave a water filter thin out and just refill it and clean it often

Answer 4

Our cat used to do this a lot too. We moved his water away from his food first. We did this because he was getting food in his water then drinking it. He didn't know there was food in it so when he swallowed it he would choke. Then we started only putting only a little bit of water in it. So he didn't drink to much to fast. If these don't work with your cat you might want to try something to prevent hairballs. Maybe he has some hair in there. Good Luck! Hope this helps!
