There are many things that can make it appear an animal has something stuck in it's throat, like an infection, coughing, cat flu....
But they're all bad, and actually having something stuck in the throat is very bad, so take him/her to a vet ASAP.

my cat for a while was constantly tryin to bring something up out its thoat it sounded as if she was choaking sometimes! the first hing is make sure it has pleanty of fluids! if you can hold the back of the neck and open its mouth it may be vissale to see and it its is you may be able to just get it out!but dont worry i contacted the vet and they said leave it for a while cats always get things in there throat usually from hairballs from fighting woth other cats or cleaning ther selvs or furr from catchin other animal ect! you cat will eat grass (if you didnt no it makes them sick) this will help bring it up! leave it a week or so and it should be gone!if not contct the vet! hope it helps xx

I'd say just try to get the cat to drink some water, and see if it helps any. If it is really irritating the cat and the problem doesn't go away, you should probably call your vet just to make sure it's nothing major.

Hi, I would take a look into her throat to see if you can see anything stuck. It could be a fur ball. If the problem persists take her to the vet's straight away.

if its struggling to breath phone the animal emmergency -either the pdsa or your vet out of hours.
If it just keeps coughing its likely to be fur balls at this time of the year. Its because they mault so much due to it being nearly spring.
